- The Patient Story with Natalie Wilson.
My heart is so full and grateful to be a part of this meaningful book. Beautiful Body, Unbreakable Spirit is a fine art photography book by photographer, Tash Damjanovic in conjunction with Anita Canada. Aptly described as “Courageous Journeys Through Breast Cancer,” Tash D explains “Breast cancer is often mythologized as a dragon among those affected by breast cancer. How each woman lives with the dragon differs. For some, it becomes a doorway to a different future. For others, a beast to be slain. These women offer inspiration that life after breast cancer can be active, enchanting, beautiful. Their vulnerability offers us the opportunity to experience their courage, strength and beauty from up close.” The book launches on Oct. 1, 2021. Click for details and to purchase your own copy or visit the Instagram page. All the proceeds of the book will go towards the Canadian breast cancer dragon boat teams.
