Birdy | Disaster, Luck , and Miracle!

In season 3, episode four Roman and Cecily interview Diana, aka Birdy. An ex gang member turned registered nurse. Who describes herself as “disaster, lucky and miracle”. She was able to get clean and get away from gang life so she could save lives and fight on the front lines of the COVID pandemic.

“A lot of times I say lucky because I do love a charmed life. The life I’m able to live now I’m very lucky to have. Because the life that I lived before.. I should be dead or in jail.”

-Birdy

“This life that I have been living has been so abnormal but it has felt normal for so long”

-Birdy

“So you went from being pretty much a threat to human life to working your ass off to try and save lives during the pandemic?” 

-Roman 

“Yea, it’s the right thing to do” 

-Birdy

Birdy is the editor and host of PNX News. She gets to travel the world and create videos with various punk bands.
