Drop the Drugs president and founder, Dr. mOe Anderson, conducted an interview with Abercrombie, in 2021.

She received a Dove Award and a Movieguide, Grace Award for her performance in that film.
The critically acclaimed movie “Discarded Things” deftly demonstrates the life-changing impact of using drugs to self-medicate through grief.
When tragedy disrupts the life of esteemed music professor Grace Wyatt (Karen Abercrombie), she is ejected from her lavish academic world. She retreats to substance abuse to cope and takes a position teaching at-risk youth.
Ms. Abercrombie has committed to attending the screening and speaking about her career. Drop the Drugs and Psi Zeta will host the event, and pharmacy students from the UNTHSC will distribute our educational resources and provide information on how to dispose of medications year-round at DEA approved drop-off sites. Attendees will learn how to deter addiction, prevent accidental overdoses, and see a feature film at no cost! The focus will be on asking people to clean their drug cabinets of unused, unneeded, and expired medications and bring the drugs to the drop-off .
