Songe Riddle is a multidisciplinary visual artist who has  taught me so much about Tourettes syndrome. He joins us to give a quick rundown of his experience living with Tourettes, but to also share his experience as a black man with Tourettes. The intersectionality of all our identities can be so consequential in our lived experience and my conversation with Songe really highlights this. We’re also talking about his amazing art, his artsy family origins, and his early experiences in the punk scene.

Bills gotta get paid.  

If he was independently wealthy, he’d spend his time painting, swimming in the ocean, and reading comic books. 

 Oh, and watching General Hospital.  He’s so sick of Carly and Josselyn right now.
