In today's episode, we are joined by a special guest, Niurka Ozuna, a proud Dominican author from the Bronx, New York. Niurka is passionate about using literature to share her culture and initiate discussions that build awareness and literacy. She joins us to talk about her impactful children's book, "What's Wrong with Grandma? Que Le Pasa Abuela?" This book serves as a conversation starter about mental health, focusing specifically on schizophrenia and its effects on family dynamics. Niurka draws from personal experiences with her mother's schizophrenia to create a relatable narrative for children and families, aiming to demystify mental health issues and reduce stigma. As we explore this sensitive topic, Niurka provides insight into her inspiration, the challenges of addressing mental health in literature for young audiences, and the powerful responses her book has elicited. Join us in this enlightening discussion as we continue to embrace curiosity and empathy in understanding mental health.
