Story
Marilyn Fayre Milos was a nursing student on the obstetrical unit in 1979 when she first witnessed a baby being circumcised. The only person to step forward to comfort the infant as it writhed and screamed in pain during the surgery, she was shocked when the doctor said to her: “There is no medical reason for doing this.” From that moment on, Marilyn became an advocate for ending medically unnecessary circumcision, protecting our children, and educating parents, the public, and medical professionals about this cultural fraud and violation of human rights.

Growing up in Brooklyn, New York, it never occurred to Uché Blackstock and her twin sister, Oni, that they would be anything but physicians. In the 1980s, their mother headed an organization of Black women physicians, and for years the girls watched these fiercely intelligent women in white coats tend to their patients and neighbors, host community health fairs, cure ills, and save lives.

Story
For the first twenty-seven years of his life, Ben McKelvey didn't spend too much time thinking about his brain, nor much about trauma. He was fit, carefree and happy working as a magazine journalist, writing listicles and doing celebrity junket interviews. Then one day, while boxing, he suffered a stroke. In the time it took for a left hook to be thrown, Ben disconnected from language and therefore the world. He wanted nothing more than to go back to normal life and, after a time, it looked like he had. Only normal life no longer felt normal. Ben's brain had changed, and so had he.

Story
Komm mit, ich nehme Dich mit in meine Depression. Ich zeige Dir, wie das ist, wie sich das anfühlt, was sie angerichtet hat in meinem Leben. Ich zeige Dir die besonderen Momente, die Wende- und Scheidepunkte, wie meine Depression entstanden ist und wo sie eine andere Richtung nahm. Ich bin depressiv seit 52 Jahren, immer wieder anders, immer wieder neu. Glaube mir, ich habe zu erzählen. Schonungslos führe ich Dich in meine emotionalen Abgründe, zeige Dir, dass Depression nichts unberührt lässt und alles durchdringt, jeden Tag und jede Nacht.
