In this inaugural episode of Unheard Conversations, Marcus Hasson shares his story of resilience, recovery, and creative expression in a conversation with Elements House staff member Jeff Tineo. Marcus reflects on the role music, DJing, and the clubhouse community have played in his journey. We also hear from members and staff in our "Question of the Day" segment, a clubhouse tradition that sparks connection and conversation.
