Activating Compassion Radio - Split at the Root with Dr. Catana Tully

Jesse interviews Dr. Catana Tully - who grew up trilingual (German, Spanish, English) in Guatemala. In tenth grade she entered a boarding school in Jamaica, WI and received her Advanced Level Higher Schools Certificate from Cambridge University, England. Expecting to become an international interpreter, she continued her studies at the Sprachen und Dolmetscher Institut in Munich, Germany. However, she was called to work in a play and discovered her affinity for the dramatic arts. She became the actress and fashion model Catana Cayetano appearing in Film and TV in Germany, Austria, and Italy. In Upstate New York, she completed a BA in Cultural Studies, MA in Latin American and Caribbean Literature, and DA in Humanistic Studies. She was a tenured Associate Professor at SUNY Empire State College, and in retirement returned to work in ESC’s Center for International Programs, serving as Mentor and instructor in the Lebanon program, and Interim Program Director for the Dominican Republic. In 2011 she dedicated herself to publishing Split at the Root. She is currently preparing an academic version discussing the psychological issues imbedded in the memoir.  We will look at her work in Split at the Root.  You can learn more about Dr. Catana Tully at www.splitattheroot.com and www.catanatully.com
