Meet Martha Velasquez

For Martha Velasquez, people tend to notice the obvious: her mixed heritage, her warmth, and her calm personality. But no one could ever see that Martha grew up in a household dealing with a mother who has schizophrenia and a father who is an alcoholic. Nor would people know that Martha experienced depression in college and began to use unhealthy coping mechanisms as a way to deal with her disorder. Martha was able to learn how to deal with these issues and found ways to lead a very healthy life. She attended New York University and now has a successful singing career. Martha's intimate and persuasive presentation focuses on depression and living with family members who suffer from schizophrenia and alcoholism.
