Miscellaneous
When people see something different, unusual, or curious, they look. Or even stare. And it is a reality of life that when we look different—colourful tattoos, unique dress, or burn scars—people may stare at us, too. More than 200,000 people go to the emergency department every year with burn injuries in Australia. Accidental burns can happen to anyone, although children, teenagers and older people are most at risk. The trauma experienced by different individuals varies greatly, as do perceived problems during care, rehabilitation, and throughout the remainder of life. In this week's podcast episode, Marni will be speaking with Isabella Fernandes, a model and self-love activist. Isabella acquired her scars in a house fire when her shirt caught fire while she was cooking causing severe burns along her armpit, breast and arm. One of the best-known projects of Isabella was being a muse in Sophie Mayanne's "Behind the Scars" photography campaign. The campaign aims to celebrate scars of all shapes and sizes, and the incredible stories behind them. While juggling work and her studies, Isabella hopes to normalise disabilities and visible differences through modelling. Join us as Isabella shares her story and journey of healing, acceptance and living life beyond her scars.
