March 2017, Tennessee was great. I spoke for one and a half hours and then mingled with the attendees for the rest of the day. My talk was followed by a Nashville police officer who upheld that good law enforcement finds value in such training.

We held the event in the meeting room of a local police station, free for use in Nashville to nonprofits. The event is a day with lunch so that attendees have an accessible and effective day. It was a moving event to connect with so many people who are interested in the experience my brain trauma has given me.

My own family has ties to the Nashville area and I enjoyed the city, seeing it through stories I have heard.
