ABOUT THE AUTHOR(S)
I write, I listen, I research, I tell stories. Mostly just listen. I don't think we listen without judgment enough. I explore marginalized things we like to ignore.
Addiction and mental illness is The White Noise behind many lives -- simply what Is.
Peripherals: I write on culture, poverty, addiction and mental illness in New York City, recovering from stints as a chemist and interactive TV producer. During the day, I teach science in South Bronx public school. Follow Cassie Rodenberg on Twitter
