Ryce has spent the last three years at TROSA, the residential substance abuse treatment center in Durham. She is one of the citizen storytellers in our "Storymakers: Durham" project. Ryce interviewed two other women who got clean at TROSA and are now on staff there, Kaszondra Davis and Susan Mowery.
