Voices From The Frontline - Giles Duley
Episode 2
Tuesday, 14 May, 2024
Giles Duley is many things , photographer, humanitarian activist and chef, connector and defiant Bon viveur. I knew he had a huge following on his Ted Talks, but wasn't expecting such visceral story-telling. The real story is so incredible it's almost hard for the imagination to go to that place. Remember lockdown? And how hard the curtailed freedoms were for so many of us to swallow? Now imagine that you are incarcerated in your lumpen body, missing both legs and arm. Imagine you've lost all use of your senses and even the ability to communicate with the nurses and your family gathering around the hospital bed to let them know you are sentient, kind of alive? . How Duley doesn't lose his mind is the story that had me shaking my head in wonder. His battles with depression and addiction , his belief in the power of care and kindness, is nothing less that awe-inspiring. Find the footnotes here. Follow Catherine Fairweather on Instagram.
