E8 - Venessa Diaz - Doing Art for My Ancestors

Venessa Diaz is a writer, performer, and activist for the disability community. We talk about Venessa’s rocky relationship with her mother, her father’s social anxiety, what advocating an artistic community does her for children, two of whom are twins with Down syndrome. Venessa also talks about how writing and performing opened up her understanding of the trauma the women in her family faced.
