My Sister, Lori: A Tale of Survival and Resilience on Black Fluid Poet

I think of all the things my sister could have become if society didn't tell her, when she was so young, that she had to get married because she was pregnant, that she had to quit school because she was getting married, that she had to go wherever her husband went, because that's what a wife does.
John S. Blake invites you into an intimate and powerful episode of 'Black Fluid Poet', where he shares the story of his sister, Lori. Lori's life is a testament to the human spirit's capacity to endure, despite facing immense challenges. From a traumatic childhood marked by poverty and misogyny in the 70s and 80s, to her struggles with dissociation and homelessness as an adult, Lori's journey is both heart-wrenching and inspiring.
Blake’s narrative is raw and honest, shedding light on the often unseen impacts of societal expectations on women’s lives. He delves into the connection between mental illness and dissociation, exploring how these experiences shaped Lori's path. Through his heartfelt storytelling, Blake emphasizes the importance of self-love and acceptance, even when life throws its toughest challenges. Lori's resilience shines through as a beacon of hope, not just for her brother, but for anyone facing similar battles.
This episode is a poignant reminder that even in the darkest times, there is strength to be found. Perfect for listeners who appreciate deep, emotional stories that touch on the complexities of mental health, societal pressures, and the enduring power of love and family.
