On Thursday, November 14th, at 11:30 a.m. PT/ 2:30 p.m. ET, Simone E. Morris and her daughter Millie Walton join Being Patient Live Talks to discuss their book Remember Me Grammy P, a children’s book about dementia. Morris’s late mother, Patricia D. Edwards, or “Grammy P,” lived with dementia, and the book traces how their family dealt with diagnosis, care, and discussions around the disease. As a Black caregiver experienced in providing training on diversity, equity, and inclusion, Morris will also discuss dementia care and access in marginalized communities.
Morris is a coach, trainer, speaker, podcaster, and author passionate about inclusion. Wanting to help other families on the dementia journey, she wrote Remember Me, Grammy P, in collaboration with her daughter as a tribute to her mother. Walton is a fourth grader passionate about reading, art, soccer, acting, and singing. While the book is illustrated by Audeva Joseph, some of Walton’s artwork is featured in Remember Me, Grammy P.
RSVP to this live talk to learn more about the book’s writing process and how dementia impacts Black caregivers.
Excited to hear your journey as I am the caregiver of my 90 yrs old Mom and my 91 yrs old aunt.
We hope you enjoyed our Live Talk with Simone Morris and Millie Walton, Carol!
