STONEWALL STRONG
SPEAKING
I love to share lessons from my life and career as a health journalist. Whether I'm wearing my reporter or patient advocate's hat, I bring in-depth knowledge, up-to-date information, and a passionate desire to give my audience tools to help them tell their own stories as heroic tales of courage and resilience.
“John-Manuel’s talk was personal, insightful and motivational, touching upon the intimate emotions associated with our resilience. Rutgers School of Public Health faculty, staff, and students benefited greatly from his workshop and we hope they all become ‘heroes’ of their stories."
Perry N. Halkitis, Dean of the Rutgers School of Public Health
