Can storytelling help heal trauma? Hear Natasha (Tash) Bilau-Howie's transformative journey from an ER nurse to a brain tumour survivor, and how digital storytelling became a part of it all. Her involvement with the Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada and subsequent participation in a storytelling workshop under Mike Lang's guidance helped her navigate a path from patient to storyteller.
