With the opioid epidemic in full swing it’s easy to forget our last big drug epidemic - crack. I speak with author David Farber I had a chance to interview David Farber, author of Crack: Rock Cocaine, Street Capitalism and the Decade of Greed. It’s a riveting history of the crack cocaine years and the impact of the drug to generations of people of color caught in a web of addiction and incarceration.

I’ve been doing interviews for – a while and I think I’m pretty good at it – but I have to admit that I stumbled quite a bit while talking with Dr. Yolanda Graham from Devereaux Behavioral Health. The topic was gender affirmative model You might have noticed folks email signatures not only give you addresses, phone numbers and other convention info but you might also see a reference to the pronouns they identify with he/him she/her they/them. I’d like to think I’m pretty woke when it comes to gender – but I struggled a little during this conversation. If I struggled – I’m guessing some of you struggle as well. That’s why I’ was so glad to talk about this topic with Dr. Graham
