Welcome to a new edition of the Famous Interviews with Joe Dimino series. In this episode, we talk with Dr. Liz DeBetta—scholar, artist, activist, and founder of Migrating Toward Wholeness. A Trauma-informed educator, Liz leads a healing-centered methodology rooted at the intersection of storytelling, embodiment, and trauma recovery.

An award-winning performer, narrative healer, and advocate for adoptees and marginalized voices, Dr. DeBetta’s work reclaims the transformative power of personal story to foster emotional healing, cultural change, and collective liberation. Drawing from her interdisciplinary background in creative writing, feminist critical theory, and social justice, she empowers individuals and communities to break silences, heal Grief, and reimagine their futures.

This hopeful and deeply human conversation explores healing through art, the politics of voice, and the role of story in personal and social transformation.
