Meriem

“She’s been bullied, suffered anxiety and an eating disorder, but that hasn’t stopped a Hobart oncology nurse from becoming one of the state’s finest distance runners – and now she’s using her ability to overcome adversity to help others.”…Linda Smith’s longform Tasweekend front page story.

It was dark, wet, cold and windy. My light was wrapped in a large plastic bag to shield it’s tender Swiss engineering from those elements. There was no shelter for Meriem though. She’s slight, angelic, probably not built for those conditions. Wet, cold, soaked through. Never did she mention it or complain. She saw the whole shoot through. I hoped she was okay. Not just because of the weather. Her bright, kind eyes have seen things, probably not all good.

Meriem Daoui is good, inspiringly good.
