She continued: ‘I took this picture the day I finished it – and today we sent it off to the printer!! Its out of my hands and time to share it with the world.’

‘I’m feeling a little bit of everything: nervous, excited, vulnerable, but mostly hopeful. That any part of my story might shine a shine on the fullness of yours,’ Joanna said.
