I've introduced myself in earlier episodes, but I thought you might like to know a little more detail about who Demian Yumei is. I share a bit about my background, my early years in Japan and New Mexico, what the creative process means to me and how it fits into my activism.

Creativity is central to my healing and spirituality. It's helped pull me through some of my darkest nights and gave voice to the pain I experienced and the healing I received dealing with the incestuous abuse of my childhood.

"I began writing songs in earnest two years into my healing journey that began when I was 31. Since then I’ve written a number of songs about the healing journey, and also in honor of other people who cannot speak for themselves or face reprisal if they do... Love is the message and creativity is the language through which I speak."

Demian,
~ Keeping the Dream
