An evening with memoirist Stephanie Foo and Esmé Weijun Wang, discussing Foo’s book What My Bones Know. In 2018, This American Life journalist Stephanie Foo was diagnosed with complex PTSD. At the time, she struggled to find material that wasn't stigmatizing, so she set out to write her own story. Foo explores many healing methods, including going back to her hometown of San Jose, California to investigate deeply buried mental health issues in her Asian American community, and the lasting power of intergenerational trauma.
