Hiding From The School Shooter: Melody Herzfeld

In this powerful episode, I sit down with Melody Herzfeld, the drama teacher at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School who bravely hid and protected her students during the 2018 Parkland shooting, where 17 lives were tragically lost. She shares her harrowing story from that day, the split-second decisions that saved lives, and how she has helped her students heal through music and art. This conversation is about courage in the face of terror, the resilience of young people, and the enduring power of storytelling to process grief and inspire change.
