Writers LIVE: Charita Cole Brown, Defying the Verdict
Charita Cole Brown was diagnosed with a severe form of bipolar disorder while finishing her final semester as an English major at Wesleyan University. Doctors predicted she would never lead a "normal" life. Despite that prognosis and because she sought treatment, Charita went on to marry, raise a family, earn a master's degree in teaching and enjoy a fulfilling career in education. Her powerful story is chronicled in her debut book, Defying the Verdict: My Bipolar Life.
Charita Cole Brown is in conversation with Emma Snyder, owner of the Ivy Bookshop.
Presented in partnership with NAMI Metropolitan Baltimore.
