This episode is a little different. It features Sharlene Cooney, a multi-disciplinary non-speaking artist. Debbie and Rachel worked with Sharlene and her support carer Linda Daly to write what Sharlene wanted to express. Then, storyteller Kim Kilpatrick was entrusted with reading Sharlene’s words.
You will not hear Sharlene speak today, but it is her voice and this is her podcast.
