AwareNow 'Innerviews' w/Marge Wakefield in 'The Shadow's Name'
from AwareNow™: The Official Podcast for Causes · host AwareNow Media
Marge Wakefield grew up in Lake Linden, Michigan, a small town in the Upper Peninsula, where she came to know herself as a “Yooper” and, from a very young age, came to know something else she called “the shadow.” At nineteen, while studying piano in Philadelphia, she was hospitalized for the first time and saw the word “schizophrenia” written on her chart. What might have frightened someone else brought Marge a sense of hope, because for the first time, what she had carried had a name, and if it had a name, she believed something could be done.Featured in 'The Humanity Edition' of AwareNow Magazine: www.awarenowmagazine.comGuest: Marge WakefieldHost: Allié McGuireMusic by: OkayaProduced by: AwareNow Media
