Patrick de Belen

Patrick feels furious about imposter syndrome.Patrick and I discuss talking to other people about their grieving experiences to help with our own, the difficulty Patrick experienced coming up in his early days as an artist and a member of the BIPOC community, and his new documentary called, "Tell me a story about someone you miss". In this documentary, Patrick sits down in a park and talks to random strangers about their experience with loss and grief. This episode is an extra special one to me. Patrick came to me as a student after his brother, Jordan de Belen, past away from suicide. Jordan was one of my favorite students. Jordan and I liked the same type of music. And as a voice teacher, Jordan's classes were a wonderful treat for me because we got to sing songs that him and I both loved. I love our classes together. He brought so much light and joy to my week each and every week. Hearing the news of his passing was devastating. I am so grateful for the time I got to spend with Jordan.
