Episode: Validating the Many Forms of Inner Self-Defense
Description: Presented by Fable the Poet. During this session, attendees will navigate the dramatic adolescence of an inner city teen that was molded around substance abuse, physical trauma, and how he learned how to cope with stressors using violence. You will hear about his life pre-diagnosis, post-diagnosis, and about his road to recovery along with the ways he learned to cope with stressors in a world that fails to validate the struggles of the marginalized. Fable the Poet's session is followed by his lunch time performance.
