This week on Beyond Stillness: Stories After Stroke we welcome author, speaker, holistic health practitioner, minister, and Emmy Award winning musician Toni Hickman who lives in Houston, Texas.  In October of 2004, just before an album release, Toni suffered her first of two brain aneurysms that were followed by a stroke.  At that point she wasn’t able to find any publicly disabled people in the music industry.  While pondering the reason she was still alive, Toni found purpose.  Her story is entitled, “A Story of Resilience.”

This week on Beyond Stillness: Stories After Stroke we welcome writer, speaker, and stroke and brain injury activist Tymiak Hawkins who lives in Edison, New Jersey.  In June of 2019, just four years after graduating from college and months before his wedding, Tymiak suffered a stroke.  In his first year of recovery he wrote a book entitled, Becoming the Light: Navigating Darkness After A Stroke. Now, five years out, he finds himself in another moment of transition.  Today, he offers wisdom on how he is navigating life’s next chapter.  Tymiak’s story is entitled, “Becoming Me: A Stroke Survivor's Journey from Caterpillar to Butterfly.”
