We want to our new co host Author Tammy Jurnett Lewis author of Letters to My Father and her special guest Filmmaker/Motivational Speaker-Singer/Songwriter/Actor Tanya Fermin to Intercomm Radio Network and The Paige Roberts Show.  Lets make Tammy feel welcome. Thanking you all in advance.  

Tanya Fermin’s inspiration for her first short film came from close to home.
The Arrangements, which Fermin released this year, centers on family and what happens when it’s time to say good-bye to a loved one.

The film is based on a conversation Fermin had with her mother and aunt as they were making her ailing grandmother’s final arrangements.

“Her film is based on a true story wherein hospice was called in for the care of my grandmother,” Fermin says. “When the hospice nurse spoke of the need for education in black communities on what hospice does, it motivated me to write the film. This is a film that can be shown in churches, hospitals, hospices, adult care facilities, and so forth.”

In the film version, three sisters discuss arrangements for their mother, with differing opinions in a conversation Fermin describes as poignant but also humorous.
