Imprinted Stories

Gulia is the epitome of a strong woman; she had a c-section and a brain tumor removed on the same operating table and then had to relearn how to walk and function with a newborn at home.

Lala was born with unilateral breast agenesis; meaning as she grew up, she only developed one breast. She discusses her relationship with her body, breast implants, breast removal, and how we can all learn to listen and analyze how we talk about/to our bodies. Check out her website at: https://linktr.ee/laladrona and her most recent performance piece will be available February 15th at: https://vimeo.com/594468276

Athanasia has a hard story to hear; however, she manages to turn it into a powerful message. She was in a car accident that took the lives of two of her friends and left the majority of her body burned- but now she uses her story to educate and inspire. Check out her podcast, Crash Victim Life Survivor at www.athanasiahouvarda.com .

Brittany had cancer; furthermore, she was in a unique position when she found out: she had been researching chemo as part of her studies, her mother had the same exact cancer though there is currently no genetic connection, and this all happened during the beginning of the pandemic. This is a thoroughly interesting, engaging, informative, and beautiful interview.

Rosalie remembers playing around in her bedroom and accidentally smashing a window which led to her scar...the only thing is, can anyone corroborate her story? Check out Rosalie's podcast, "Shit My Soul Says" here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/shit-my-soul-says/id1544143111
