Episode 405: "TWLOHA Turns 15: How It Started, How It’s Going”

To Write Love on Her Arms

On this special episode of the TWLOHA Podcast, we’re celebrating 15 years of hope and help on the organization’s birthday—along with the upcoming release of our daily-use self-care app called The Hopeful! In the first half, founder Jamie Tworkowski discusses the movement’s unexpected inception and shares some of his favorite memories, and TWLOHA’s first-ever social media coordinator Chris Youngblood talks about managing an overflowing inbox and a Myspace account all those years ago from his T-Mobile Sidekick. And in the second half of the episode, you’ll hear from two current team members—Katie Mumper and Bianca Mujica—the real-life folks who respond to your comments and texts and DMs.
