Aphasia Talks
Then I crashed my bicycle, without a helmet, and was in a coma for over a month. They gave me a 15% chance of survival. But here I am. I can speak OK and have done a presentation on my story. I now have Aphasia Talks, a podcast on advocacy for those with aphasia. Here I interview people who know me through aphasia, speech therapy, my musical background, presentations, or anything else.
