A Barefoot Child
Shantha J. Bunyan, a BIPOC, is a scuba dive master and former surgical technician currently landlocked in her native Colorado. After indulging her wanderlust in 2014, she lived abroad for nearly six years, exploring the world both above and below the surface. Sometimes she manages her chronic pain and invisible illnesses, and sometimes they try to manage her; but while she’s fighting, she writes. She also repurposes formerly rejected dive photos as backgrounds for found poetry. Some of her travel adventures and links to her publications can be found at RandomPiecesofPeace.com.
