    Description

    Imagine having a nine-year-old son who was so violent that you were afraid of him. Acclaimed Korean American writer and author Marie Myung-Ok Lee accepted the diagnosis of autism the doctors gave her son but knew that there was something else going on, something that defied traditional treatment plans and medication. So what would you do if Cannabis was the only thing that seemed to offer your son the relief he needed for his pain? Would you be too afraid to administer it because of what people might say? Or would you give the middle finger to the world and provide your son with the only treatment that really worked? Email: [email protected] Instagram: @mariemyungokleeTwitter: @MarieMyungOkLeeTikTok: @daily_writing_makes_bookFacebook: @Marie Myung-Ok LeeBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/only-one-in-the-room--6052418/support.

    Hosted by Laura Cathcart Robbins, a writer and a recovery thriver and survivor, Laura found herself in an all too familiar position. In September 2018, she was the only black woman in the room at Brave Magic, a famed writer’s retreat. After it was over, she wrote about her “only one” experience in The Huffington Post and comments started flooding into her DM. These comments were from people from all races, ethnicities, creeds, and nationalities who had felt “othered”. Laura beautifully interviews a person about their Only One story each episode and addresses as many of those DM’s as possible in the process. In this podcast, you’ll hear raw, vulnerable accounts from people who are, like most of us, just eager to connect. Our hope is that The Only One In The Room will inspire a change of perspective in how we all see and hear each other’s stories. We want you think twice before judging the person standing next to you at a party, in the pick-up line at school or in a crowded subway car. This is a podcast for anyone who has ever felt alone in a room full of people – which is to say, that this podcast is for everyone.
