Sorry friends that it has taken some time to get another episode up but budget constraintts have gotten i the way. 

Here we are though, with more to come, I will persevere!

I am pushing things back 1 month so that I can gather more interviews. After listening to the premier episode, I thought I needed to make some changes,ie less of me and more of guests. New Years Eve will be the next episode, Thank You!

This is the first official episode of The Anti-Stigma Zone, from the epicenter. It begins as a brief history of The Anti-Stigma Zone and then we attempt to paint a picture of life in Vancouver, B.C. Canada's impoverished Downtown East Side, with the onslaught of death trauma and stigma!!

Although there are bumps in the road, I will persevere!

I have decided that a monthly episode of Anti-Stigma Zone will allow for a suitable amount of time to provide the best product for you, my audience.

I will be working with Mario Cimet from Brave.Coop as well as Iva Jancovic formerly with Brave.coop on upcoming issues.  I have realized through recent efforts that I have taken on a sizable commitment with this podcast and I am grateful for their support!

This episode and the entire Anti-Stigma Zone is dedicated to all of the dear friends that we have lost in this horrific struggle!!

We love you, we miss you and this is for you!!!

Today is when The Anti-Stigma Zone becomes real. I went out into the world and let people know that we were on air. Here goes, the beautiful thing is, there is nowhere to go but up!!

In North America the numbers around this 'elephant in the room' are atrocious! The discussion of the resulting stigma and its effects are minimal at best. We must try to address this. That is where the Anti-Stigma Zone can be used as a safe place to begin having these conversations.  

I am having difficulty getting all of my episodes up but I think this is 10-. I will get better at this, I promise!

This is about my fourth try to jst get something published with new computer... Finally!
