I Am Human Too with Sarah Murphree
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What if the person you walk past every day on the street could change your life? In this episode, we sit down with Sarah Murphree, author of I Am Human Too — a Pulitzer-considered book that profiles 14 individuals experiencing homelessness and reveals the humor, resilience, and humanity behind their stories.
Sarah shares how growing up with a mother living with a mental health condition led her to a pivotal moment at UT Knoxville — one that changed her career path, her worldview, and ultimately produced one of the most important books about homelessness and humanity you'll ever read.
In this episode:
- Why approximately 30% of people experiencing homelessness are also living with mental illness — and what we get wrong about that number
- How shame and silence keep people (housed and unhoused alike) from getting the help they need
- The one simple, free action you can take TODAY to acknowledge someone who feels invisible
- Why I Am Human Too isn't about homelessness — it's about humanity
- How a portion of every book sale supports Feeding America
