169: Michael Hickson and the "Quality of Life Ethic" with Bobby Schindler

BONUS EPISODE: After hearing the story of Michael Hickson on TRIGGER WARNING, our latest episode, we are releasing the full interview with Michael's wife and champion, Melissa Hickson. Melissa cared for her husband and five children after his disabling episode, but as a strong Black woman, we see the reaction of the medical professionals, guardians, and media as she advocates for Michael. She experiences tremendous loss and is then victimized again by those who should have been supporting her. Not only did Michael Hickson deserve better, but Melissa Hickson deserved better, too.https://www.gofundme.com/f/hickson-family-fundPrepare yourself for Crazy and the King!Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CrazyAndTheKingMore on Torin and Julie:Julie: https://www.linkedin.com/in/juliesowashdisabilitysolutionsTorin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/torinellisShow Links:TRIGGER WARNING: https://link.chtbl.com/MichaelHicksonHickson Family GoFundMe: https://www.gofundme.com/f/hickson-family-fundYouTube Recording: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jq-_gtjnzZgADAPT of TX: http://adaptoftexas.org/Statement from St. David's: https://stdavids.com/about/newsroom/statement-on-the-death-of-michael-hicksonStatement from Family Eldercare: https://www.familyeldercare.org/statement-on-the-passing-of-michael-hickson/Resources:Dead Not Yet: https://notdeadyet.org/Cred:Production and Music by: Marcel "DjCellz" BoykinImage Provided by Melissa Hickson
