EP 084: “Healing Through Art” Read By Patricia Rae - Written By Joshua Young

Welcome back to Coffee and Conversation’s "Between the Lines" Blog Club Series. My name is Joshua Young and this is episode #84, where my dear friend Patricia Rae will read my blog post entitled “Healing Through Art.”

Patricia is probably best known as an actor & producer, but she is also an activist, artist, healer, painter, podcaster, humanitarian, and a recurring reader for us here at RAN. Her first feature film role was in the cult classic "Swimfan," and her first major supporting role was in the Oscar-nominated film "Maria Full of Grace," as well as appearing in “The Big Wedding” alongside Robert De Niro and Diane Keaton. She has appeared in many TV Shows, including NCSI: Los Angeles, Blue Bloods, Law & Order, and The Mentalist, to name a few, but her first long recurring role was as Judge Abigail Delgado on the CBS TV series, "All Rise." Patricia also hosts a podcast called “Believe This” where she and her co-host debate hot topic issues from different perspectives. You can listen to “Believe This” on any major podcast platform. We want to take a moment to thank Patricia for her passionate, genuine, and dramatic delivery in her volunteer work here at RAN. Thank you, Patricia; your dedication is truly inspiring.
