Demian E Yumei This is fantastic! Thank you! I wish I had interviewed my mother when she was still alive, although I do have a few cassette tapes of her, which I treasure. Thank you so much for this incredibly healing work to wholeness that you are doing for a society that is so disjointed and fragmented.
