Watch our conversation with Disability Activist, Author, and CRPS Warrior Tara Moss
Since 1999 Tara Moss has written 14 bestselling books, published in 19 countries and 13 languages, including advocacy handbook for women and girls #SpeakingOut and her #1 non-fiction bestselling memoir #TheFictionalWoman.
As a prominent mobility aid user with #CRPS, she brings advocacy and visibility to issues of disability and chronic pain, and the need to normalize mobility aids, through both her fiction and non-fiction, and her many media appearances.
In 2020 she accepted the honorary role of Pain Champion with Pain Australia and in 2021 she was chosen as a Global Change Maker by Conscious Being magazine for her disability and chronic pain activism. She is a 2022 recipient of the Honorary Citizen Award for the City of Victoria for her work on accessibility rights.
This year, she also joined the People With Lived Experience committee of the Canadian Pain Society to continue her advocacy and was named as their first ever Pain Champion at their annual scientific meeting in Banff, in front of over 500 luminaries in pain research and treatment.
