#pitmad #mem #mh All I knew about the Vietnam War was, Mama took up smoking, Daddy got ulcers & my brother rode 48 rockets over a dark jungle. It took 99 letters & a lifetime to rip the bandaid off the silent wounds of war and reveal the true price of trauma we all pay. Still.

@AmandaTDA I couldn’t agree more. Our child selves feel abandoned at birth…because it defies nature to separate a mama and baby. Best thing that ever happened to me, that trauma of mine…but still traumatic.

The world’s attention must remain on Myanmar, where I’ve been appalled by heartbreaking violence against civilians and inspired by the nationwide movement that represents the voice of the people.
