EP002 → Poet Tonya Ingram on Navigating the Organ Donor System





In this episode, we talk to Tonya Ingram, a poet and mental health advocate living with Lupus. During our conversation, we discuss Tonya’s experience being on the kidney transplant waiting list, the darker side of the organ transplant process and OPOs, her poetry practice, and choosing to blossom — despite the conditions of the soil.
