About
Burn Out explores the questions of "What is burn out, actually, for a human being?" and "What societal structures/expectations cause it?" Composing collaged text and images, South African author Sara Rosa Espi shares her own experiences as a person with an Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) writing her Ph.D thesis. From the vulnerability of asking to support to her doubts of being unable to reach her full potential, Epsi also explores what it means to be in the "presence of grief," her journey with medication, the risk she took quitting her Ph.D program, and finding herself in her work in the collaborative co-writing space, leading workshops, facilitating reading groups, and writing zines. --Grace Li
