Welcome to the inaugural episode of Life With Lost Keys, the podcast from Black Girl, Lost Keys! We've been waiting forever, and we're finally here!

This episode is dedicated to René's brother, Nelson Jackson (1992-2021), who would have turned 30 on this episode's release date 7/1/2022.

About our Guest: Evelyn Polk Green, MSEd, is a past president of both ADDA, the Attention Deficit Disorder Association and CHADD (Children and Adults with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder). Evelyn is an adult with ADHD and the mother of two adult sons, Perry and Robert, both of whom also have ADHD.
