2012 - The Bigger Picture Campaign - "Hear No" by Joshua

"I can tell you: when he walks around the house with his shirt off, I view his belly as a mirror. A tombstone. A braille bump sprouting from his own torso due to his own blindness - I shutter when he rubs it"
Joshua Merchant describes his battle with Type 2 diabetes as a son watching his father ignore the effects of this terrible disease. Watch him perform his poem in the Bigger Picture video HEAR NO, directed by Jamie DeWolf.
Youth Speaks and UCSF Center for Vulnerable Populations are leading the campaign against Type 2 Diabetes with our new project, The Bigger Picture. Raise your voice TODAY!
