Vanessa is a young, black American woman living in Phoenix, AZ with a college degree and three cats. But if there's one thing she knows better than all others it's living with disorder. After dealing with multiple mental illnesses and disorders for more than half of her life, Vanessa has decided the time to start shouting from the rooftops has come. Though genetically predisposed, abused, and hopelessly indulgent with a sense of humor the general public would likely find inappropriate, she brings you UNHINGED; a podcast designed to enlighten, empower, and create a community for anyone living with or has any connection to the complexities of mental illness. Even if you don't, come on in for a dose of alternate perspectives and first hand experiences.
