This segment of "Stories from the Stairwell" offers listeners a chance to sit in on this two part conversation among life long friends. Join Green Eyed Jay (also known as Jeremy Grant-Skinner) and Tara Whiteman-Fager as they process an interview they held with an ol’ friend from way back when…

Green Eyed Jay and Tara discuss their hometown experiences of growing up in rural New York State. In their storytelling they take listeners on a metaphorical track practice as they jog up a stairwell leading to their high school and also explore other areas of town. As they do so, the co-hosts address transgenerational trauma in its many forms.

In this episode they shed light on domestic violence after reuniting with Mel B., a friend and former track teammate. Mel B. is a survivor of mental, emotional and physical abuse.

Tune in as they spill the tea on the topic and extract insights from this exclusive in person interview with Mel B. In addition, Tara and Green Eyed Jay talk about a domestic situation at a Friendsgiving celebration that changed their lives as well as others, forever.
