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.
