Description
Join editor, Kat Brown, and contributor, Noni Martins, for a conversation that’s seldom heard. No One Talks About This Stuff is an anthology for almost-parents.
It is a place that shares journeys of loss and limbo, to confront social pressure and to find courage in the darkness of tragedies that happen every day, yet are often brushed under the carpet.
In this thought-provoking, honest and vulnerable discussion, Brown and Martins open a much-needed conversation about society, family and honouring the missing children we will never forget.
Please note, this venue has changed from the printed programme.
