Tiptoe Life
The first thing a lot of people ask me always been, “Why do you walk on your toes?” They might try to hide it in questions about whether I do ballet or something, but I always kind of know what they’re getting at. “You don’t walk like a normal person. Why is that?”
My Father, The Former Coal Miner
My dad used to work in the coal mines of West Virginia. This was before I was born and right around the time my parents got married. His father and uncles were coal miners as well and my grandfather wished for my dad to work anywhere but the mines. Continue reading
The Pill, an IUD, and more!
The first time I had an anxiety attack was at a Planned Parenthood in Baltimore during my senior year of high school. I was 17 years old and there to get my first birth control pill prescription.

A few inabilities are a greater number of clear than others. Numerous are quickly obvious, particularly on the off chance that somebody depends on a wheelchair or stick.

Malone in his own word has made it his life’s work “to get unlikely people singing.” This time he formed a choir of people who have difficulty breathing.
