In this episode, Mariangela shares her personal story, a suicide attempt that she miraculously survived from and her journey through the grief of losing her brother to suicide. Fuelled by the loss of her brother and beginning with a simple self portrait, Mariangela started a movement called Faces of Fortitude. The project lays a foundation of healing through captured portraits of those personally affected by attempted or completed suicide, and works to provide a safe, stigma-free space for mental health to be discussed, and stories of loss and survival to be shared.
