Trust the Neurodiverse Process with Ilona Bannister E30


Written by #WWR


- Writing a book through a pandemic.
- The unexpected benefits of living with a neurodiverse family.
- The UK’s current immigration process and what we can do to support the lives of struggling refugees.
- The recent overturning of the Roe v Wade decision by the US Supreme Court and what it means for women in the States and across the world.
Sareta and Chioma love Ilona’s heart and her compassion. Ilona’s advice to those wanting to rebrand themselves is that patience is key and nothing is a failure, because we are all informed by our experiences and those experiences, even if we don’t realise it at the time, help to take us to the next level.


Ilona Recommends
Mrs Death Misses Death: Salena Godden “Mrs Death tells her intoxicating story in this life-affirming fire-starter of a novel Mrs Death has had enough. She is exhausted from spending eternity doing her job and now she seeks someone to unburden her conscience. Wolf Willeford, a troubled young writer, is well acquainted with death, but until now hadn’t met Death in person – a black, working-class woman who shape-shifts and does her work unseen. Enthralled by her stories, Wolf becomes Mrs Death’s scribe and begins to write her memoirs. Using their desk as a vessel and conduit, Wolf travels across time and place with Mrs Death to witness deaths of past and present and discuss what the future holds for humanity. As the two reflect on the losses they have experienced – or, in the case of Mrs Death, facilitated – their friendship grows into a surprising affirmation of hope, resilience and love. All the while, despite her world-weariness, Death must continue to hold humans’ fates in her hands, appearing in our lives when we least expect her…” Amazon
