Jamila Rizvi & Rosie Waterland on 'Broken Brains'
Boffins Books and Writing WA are delighted to present Jamila Rizvi and Rosie Waterland in-conversation on 'Broken Brains'.
Jamila and Rosie will be in-conversation with literary editor, facilitator, festival director and Writing CEO William Yeoman.
Jamila Rizvi and Rosie Waterland take the stage for a heartfelt discussion about the challenges of living with illness and their co-authored book, Broken Brains.
At 31, when Jamila Rizvi was diagnosed with a rare brain tumour, she turned to her close friend Rosie Waterland for support. Waterland, who had been grappling with the lasting effects of childhood abuse and ongoing mental health challenges, understood what it meant to live with a ‘broken brain’.
Drawn from their shared experience of being sick, these two remarkable women sought to write a deeply personal book – Broken Brains – to offer others the comfort, solidarity and understanding they wish they had during their own struggles.
