A︎BOUT OUR GUEST:
Julie Lewis, a 38-year AIDS survivor, and mother to Grammy Award winning musician, Ryan Lewis, was infected with HIV in 1984 but not diagnosed until the early 1990s when she was given three to five years to live. After years of silence about her disease, she found an unlikely community of friends to fight alongside and began using her story to make a difference. Her experiences as a woman living with AIDS offers insights about grief and loss, caregiving, spirituality, and the importance of community in the midst of tragedy.

Doctors always take a patient’s medical history, and Dr. Torres’ self-assessment was no different. In Keep Kicking, Frisco, Torres describes this whacky journey of self-discovery and sheds light on how the accumulated eccentricities of our upbringings shape the person we grow up to be-- panic attacks and all.This book aims to demonstrate how the lives of others intersect with our own and shape who we become. For those who suffer from anxiety, depression, and fear, Dr. Torres’ story offers hope for the future and a blueprint for overcoming the panic we sometimes face in our own lives.
