MY STROKE OF LUCK Joins United Solo Line Up

Did you know the average person looses 1.9 million brain cells every minute a stroke goes untreated? I knew; I'm a doctor, a radiologist who diagnoses strokes! But I did not deal with having a stroke very well. It was 21 hours before I drove myself to the hospital! Come see how that worked for out for us- me, a single parent by adoption family, and my 'tween, sons - one gifted, one special needs.

A spellbinding and funny look at love, family and seemingly insurmountable odds. 75 minutes, dramatic and comedic storytelling.

Diane is a black SF Bay Area based physician, NYC born and raised (HCHS), B.A Stanford (psychology) and Yale University School of Medicine.
