Hidden Voices- Carina and Tourettes

This is the second interview of my blog series 'Hidden Voices.'   Hidden Voices shines a spotlight on talented local people based in and around Plymouth.  These people balance successful careers with a disability or life long health conditions.   Last year when I spoke out about my experience of Tourettes it liberated me.  Speaking loud and proud about my condition has given me opportunities to connect to a diverse community of people and it has given me a whole new perspective to the work I create.  There are some real tough moments, and moments where I want it to all go away, but there are also beautiful connections and wonderful people I have met along the road. I came out of hiding, (though I do hibernate from time to time) and I wanted to offer others the platform to do so too.  I have interviewed 5 people I know, who all have a hidden disability. Hidden sometimes by choice and sometimes hidden because of the nature of the condition. I hope you enjoy reading these hon
