About Me:
Welcome to “Been an OK Boy,” a newsletter by me, Willa Odefey. As a young recovering addict I have felt firsthand the lack of empathy towards the addiction/recovery community, perpetuated by a general inadequacy in media coverage and (thus) public understanding of addiction as a mental and societal struggle. Now, as a student of journalism, it is my goal to produce and promote empathy by opening a space of vulnerability for the addiction community and those affected by it.
