Description

A solo narrative navigating life with neurodiversity. Tales filled with smushed lipstick, spelling mistakes and wonky lines. An adventure of love, friendship and joy. Exploring the so-called concept of success predetermined by who? Creative problem solving otherwise known as masking to fit inside lines of a typical world. 45 minutes of a day in the life inclusive of hairstyles, dates, travelling and studying. In the absence of sorrow. A celebration of daily success or come along and decide for yourself?
