Tash Deacon is a care-experienced first-generation scholar and recent graduate of Durham University. Throughout her life, she has been no stranger to strong feelings of guilt which manifested far before she could find the words to label them. She wished to venture beyond her home city but learnt that meant leaving the people she loves behind with only the lessons they taught her to carry her forward. Juggling that pain is still a fine art. She swears one day she will show her Mum how wide the world really is.
