You Know Me Now podcast features in-depth life stories of those marginalized in our society as well as the individuals and organizations that are in service to those in need. From these life stories we hope to spark conversation and connection. We are doing this with the sole purpose of bringing us all closer together so that we can better address the issues that divide us. When we listen to those living different lives or views from our own, we begin a journey of understanding. An understanding of not only those around us, but also ourselves. Available on all podcasting platforms or on each episode page.

On this episode we are talking with Ryan Henry Ward. If you live in Seattle and you don’t know Ryan, there is a good chance you do know his artful murals seen all over town!
Ryan’s murals, which are signed simply “henry”, have the power to bring out a smile, even on the grayest days. The scenes of his characters and the quiet story being told, leave you with a good feeling about living here in Seattle. Now, that alone would be reason to sit down with Ryan and share a good conversation, but, there is something more that you are going to want to hear. His views on community, specifically around the issue of homelessness, are beautiful, ones that are grounded in his personal journey of finding himself through his art.

I’m so impressed with the interviews, which have given me better insight as to these people’s lives. Sensitive and caring questions, real answers. Hopefully more people will listen and possibly get involved. Or maybe they can just say hello. -
