My life had lessons that other people could learn from and that I could further my understanding of the lessons I had already learned by continuing to examine them intentionally through writing and workshops.
Art has the power to heal, and in this episode of 'Recovery Corner', we hear from someone who knows this firsthand. Saraiha Sampson, YPR’s Director of Strategic Equity, sits down with Joseph Green—a poet, entrepreneur, and activist—to explore how creative expression can transform lives in recovery. Green, a long-time advocate for recovery, shares his compelling journey of turning pain into purpose through spoken word and creative writing workshops.
He delves into how these artistic outlets can empower youth in recovery, helping them channel their experiences into innovative expressions of resilience. Green's story is one of rediscovery. Growing up surrounded by people in recovery, he struggled to find healthy ways to cope with stress and trauma. It wasn't until addiction had a firm grip on him that he realized the healing potential of his words.
Invited to share his story with young people in recovery, Green found that art could be a powerful tool for change—not just for himself but for others facing similar battles. The episode also highlights Green's involvement in the documentary 'Tipping the Pain Scale', which showcases the transformative power of storytelling. By weaving together personal anecdotes and broader social issues like critical race theory, Green illustrates how dynamic narratives can drive systemic change.
This conversation is a must-listen for anyone interested in the intersection of art, recovery, and social justice. Joseph Green's insights offer a fresh perspective on how creative expression can foster healing and inspire action.
