Episode 2: Deanna

Today’s guest is Deanna Myers. They are an incredible artist, writer, social justice advocate and aerial circus performer. They grew up in the Midwest as the only adopted child in a family of 3 older brothers. In this episode, we talk about how Deanna’s mother didn’t have any instructions on how to raise a child that didn’t look like her, how people need to be vulnerable and honest with others while they are still living, and that sometimes you have to do the dishes, if you want to eat in your own grief kitchen.
