No Less Wonderful: Woman in Pursuit of Freedom by Mistale Taylor
In this vulnerable piece of life writing teeming with a distinct sense of voice, Mistale Taylor writes about her epilepsy and how each episode leaves her finding her way back to herself. Woven through past instances of her seizures are musings on the language, art, treatment, and wording around being an epileptic woman — 'for the past fourteen years, part of me has been trying to assign something meaningful to the condition.'  This piece was shortlisted for the 2025 Queen Mary Wasafiri New Writing Prize.
