Jazz Lion's Den

Levy Lee Simon, professionally speaking, is a playwright, screenwriter, actor, and stage director. He is an unapologetically Black man, born and raised in Harlem USA, with roots from the deep south. His journey takes him from the streets of NYC to being the first male member of his family to graduate from college. His motto was to work hard and play hard. Maybe some of you can relate. During the 80s he played a bit too hard and found himself descending into a spiral of alcohol and drug abuse. His memoir is about his journey, falling into the dark destructive subculture of addiction and how he rose out of its grip, while desperately attempting to hold onto his professional career, and his very life. It’s a real tale of struggle, resurrection and redemption. During this podcast Levy Lee will read excerpts from his provocative book. Along with being a cautionary tale for any and everybody, it’s also a revelation of the human spirit and what we can be achieved on an odyssey towards the light.
