On October 17th, The Space was honoured to host MJ as she shared her story of determination and courage through her art and published works.

Her autobiography ‘Frayed not Broken’ and children’s book ‘MJ and Her Wobbly Days’ both champion rising to challenges and employing hope.

Through her advocacy, MJ allows others a glimpse into the lived experience of chronic illness (MS). We are encouraged to look beyond disability and see the individual behind the diagnosis.

Congratulations to MJ on a fabulous launch!
