The BEMC Podcast:

elders speak. we listen.

No expert panels. No cautionary tales. No recovery narratives — unless that's what an elder chooses to offer. Just true stories. Unedited and whole.

The BEMC Podcast is a series of elder-to-elder conversations where guests speak freely about their lived experiences with drugs across a lifetime. Pleasure, pain, curiosity, habit, healing, loss, ritual, recreation — whatever is true for them.

 

BEMC Founder, Maudisa Meroe, is our host, bringing curiosity, clinical grounding, and deep respect for elder experience to every conversation.

 

The questions are open. The answers belong to the elders.

​

​

These conversations make possible something rare: an honest, unguarded account of Black elders’ personal experiences with drugs. They live as a historical record — for this generation and the ones that follow.
