Author: Eileen Sis Austin
I am a 24 Year Old Gunditjmara woman.
Starting this blog is a step in my healing journey.
I enjoy to write, and I hope that through writing about my journey, I will find my voice and have my story heard.
This blog is based on but not limited to, my recent/ongoing experience of family violence. Currently I am experiencing a lot of 'this time last year' moments, so a lot of my pieces will be reflections of events that occurred last year. I found that I was very silenced and crippled last year, but am now feeling as though I have voice and journey that needs to be heard.
Hope you enjoy :)
