Shadoe Ball is a writer and artist from Sudbury, Ontario, who lives in Toronto. She was diagnosed with binge eating disorder at twenty-eight years old. Through group therapy programs, a HAES-informed nutritionist and a lot of self-discovery, she learned healthier coping mechanisms for stress and anxiety, such as flexing her creative muscles. She is thrilled to be included in this anthology and is eager for opportunities to connect with BIG ideas and curious people.
