April 30, 2024 by Eli Steenlage

This is the first in a series on Alzheimer’s on both a personal and medical research level, focused on the impact on Black and Indigenous people. Rev. Lilada and Dr. Alex Gee share funny stories about their mother after the effects of Alzheimer’s. They discuss some of the signposts of Alzheimer’s for others dealing with those in their lives

They also tell about the process of discovering Alzheimer’s with their mother and her journey, including finding home for assistance. Plus, Lilada finally gets in on the Black Ice Breakers.
