Debra on Dementia

My podcast is designed to enlighten individuals about Alzheimer's and related dementias. It seeks to empower with information, advocate for brain health, and encourage caregivers. In addition, my show will experience discussions concerning minorities who are most often affected by the disease and symptoms. It is the show's clarion call, to share information on a subject matter that is literally destroying families mentally, physically, financially, and Spiritually. And unfortunately, there is no cure. My desire is to publish on Wednesdays.
