On this episode of Beyond The Green, we reconnect with Morristown High School Class of 1990 alumnus Barry Richards. Barry takes us back to his days growing up in Morristown, New Jersey, sharing memories that shaped his journey before life led him south to Atlanta, Georgia. We talk about the challenges and opportunities of transitioning to a new city after graduation and how those experiences influenced both his perspective and his creativity.

Today, Barry is making waves as the author of a bold new graphic novel titled "Born Pariah". In our conversation, he opens up about the inspiration behind the story, the creative process of developing a graphic novel, and what readers can expect from this powerful new work.

Born Pariah can be purchased at www.BRichBooks.com
