  1. Oswald Perez: From Runways to Rhymes Vickie Poole 50:30

Growing up near LaGuardia Airport, Oswald Perez, also known as OP Writer, always dreamed of soaring through the skies as a pilot. Instead, his journey took him on a different flight path, one filled with the rhythmic wings of poetry and prose. In our latest episode of “Today’s Dream, Tomorrow’s Reality,” Oswald shares how the vibrant mosaic of his life experiences—from his upbringing in the heart of Queens to his creative blossoming during the pandemic—has shaped his work and worldview. We explore the idea that sometimes our passions find their truest expression not in careers, but in personal fulfillment.As I recount my personal journey, overcoming physical challenges has been a testament to adaptability and persistence. Living with a mild form of cerebral palsy and undergoing multiple surgeries, the year 2001 marked a turning point that opened the doors to new adventures. From hiking the rugged terrains of Greece to embarking on annual trips since 2015, I’ve learned that life’s limitations can often be the very things that broaden our horizons. Together with Oswald, we discuss the importance of engaging with individuals with disabilities with respect and understanding, inspired by stories of resilience that run deep in our families.Oswald’s journey through creativity and self-acceptance is both inspiring and enlightening. His ambition to publish a series of poetry books inspired by the seasons reflects a commitment to Growth and embracing the unexpected sparks of inspiration—whether on a morning bus ride or amidst the challenges of a speech impediment. Oswald candidly opens up about learning to receive praise as part of his artistic evolution, supported by a network of family and friends who proudly champion his work. As we close this deeply reflective episode, we emphasize the significance of community, purpose, and the transformative power of offering support to one another.
