ARID1B Syndrome; Interview with CNN International Correspondent, Clarissa Ward

In this episode I’ll be speaking with Clarissa Ward.  Clarissa co-founded FAR (Foundation for ARID1B Research) after being inspired by the love and determination of a group of parents, striving to give their children a better life. Her four-year-old son, Ezra, was diagnosed with the genetic anomaly in 2019.  We will discuss and gain insight into the disorder, its impact on her son and family and her hopes and dreams for Ezra or Ezzie’s future.

Clarissa is CNN’s multi award winning, chief international correspondent and the author of “On All Fronts: the Education of a Journalist.” For nearly twenty years, she has covered conflicts and crises from frontlines around the world from Syria, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan and Yemen to Ukraine and Georgia during the Russian incursion in 2008
