Dismissive Doctors & Crafting your way towards Hope (Part One)

Wednesday, 31 May 2023 - 6:00pm to 6:30pm
Tash is a caucasian woman in her thirties with shoulder length blonde hair, freckles on her face and red lips, she has a colourful tattoo on her shoulder as she stands side on and looks into the camera over her tattooed shoulder.

‘There are a million, million invisible stories such as mine out there, and lonely and disconnected voices that go unheard every day. I am almost in a state of disbelief that my tiny unseen story is going to be heard,’ says Tash who lives with chronic illness and disability.

Tash is also a self-professed ‘natural born scavenger and manic multidisciplinary crafter’. Pawnsuburbia is the name of her second hand and handmade crafts store (including jewellery and upcycled garments).
