Hungry & Poor with Katriona O'Sullivan

'One of the best [stories] I have read about the complexities of poverty . . . one of the most remarkable people you will ever meet,' Guardian

As the middle of five kids growing up in dire poverty, the odds were low on Katriona O'Sullivan making anything of her life. When she became a mother at 15 and ended up homeless, what followed were five years of barely coping.

Adding to her financial and family issues lay a more private struggle. A struggle with her body, her worth, and the unrelenting drive to be enough.

Join us as we hear the extraordinary story of how Katriona overcame every obstacle to become an award-winning academic whose work challenges barriers to education while interrogating how trauma, class and gender shape the way women see themselves

This won't be an easy story to hear, but it is such an important one.
