"Growing up I didn't really have many friends..."

Art opens up about growing up as an Indian kid in parts of New Jersey where she didn’t see many people who looked like her. Despite feeling different, Art found a special friendship that became her holiday tradition. She spent every holiday with this friend, creating a bond that lasted through the years. But life took an unexpected turn when her friend suddenly told her they could no longer associate. Now, for the first time, Art faces the holiday season without her closest companion. This story is still unfolding, and Art reflects on the pain, growth, and unanswered questions that come with loss and change.

"When I was in the 5th grade I developed a fainting problem..."

Carlin opens up about a challenging and surreal experience from her childhood. At just 10 years old, she developed fainting problems in 5th grade, which seemed to be triggered whenever she learned about the Civil War and the atrocities inflicted on enslaved people. The intensity of the history overwhelmed her, and it didn't stop there—Carlin’s fainting episodes would happen whenever she encountered scary stories with graphic violence. As a result, her parents took on a unique role: they gained veto power over the movies she could and couldn’t watch, trying to protect her from situations that could trigger her condition. In a twist of irony, during Christmas, Carlin watched All the Money in the World, a movie that brought up uncomfortable emotions and memories. Join Carlin as she reflects on how these experiences shaped her understanding of history, trauma, and how she navigated growing up with this unusual challenge.
