Guest Bio
From dog attacks to car crashes, deaths, divorce and migration, Grant has survived. Where he once carried these physical and mental scars with shame, he now wears them with a sense of pride, a degree of honour and grace. Grant has grown through experiencing these traumas by acknowledging the impact these events have had on his life. There is no escaping that impact. In sharing his experiences, Grant hopes readers will have the space to share their stories and as a result, bring us all closer.
