Man to Man with Dominic Lawson
What do you do when you lose it all? When you think you know your life plan, and then suddenly that changes? Dominic Lawson knows all about change and loss. He wouldn't tell you that there is some magical cure all on the other side. What you would learn from him, is that he is a man of service, a man who loves his community, and a champion of mental health who is STILL on his own journey. Through storytelling, he is finding his own healing AND success. In going Man to Man with David, Dominic shares about growing up in the Lamar Terrace projects in Memphis, Tennessee, his time in the Army, and being an Angel parent, but they also share what it means to find the joy in the margins.
