Join Jamila Rizvi and Rosie Waterland in conversation with Libby Trainor Parker as they discuss their new book “Broken Brains” – a personal book about physical brain health and mental brain health, and how they coexist in two very different spaces.
When, at the age of 31 Jamila Rizvi was diagnosed with a rare brain tumour, she turned to good friend Rosie Waterland for support. Rosie knows what it’s like to live with a broken brain. After a childhood of abuse and neglect, she had been dealing with significant trauma symptoms for years.
Jamila and Rosie soon discovered their broken brains had more in common than they could ever have imagined.
In this brave and honest book they share their parallel experiences and offer exactly what both Jamila and Rosie wish they’d had at the height of their illnesses: comfort, solidarity and understanding. Sometimes funny, sometimes brutal, this book is essential reading for anyone who has ever been sick or loved someone who was.
