Join us for an eye-opening and emotional experience as Gemma Morgan shares her story in a poignant reading from her memoir, Pink Camouflage—from being found by her husband, delirious and choking on her own vomit, to her path of recovery and empowerment.
At just 33, Gemma was a dedicated soldier, a loving wife and a proud mother of two, with a remarkable army and international sports career. But beneath the surface, she battled a cocktail of vodka, Valium and sleeping pills, struggling with the trauma of misogyny, sexual abuse and the toxic masculinity that pervaded her military experience.
Gemma's story dives deep into the challenges she faced, particularly after becoming a mother. Feeling lost and alienated, she confronted the difficult reality of suppressing her femininity while trying to navigate the complexities of motherhood. This led to a devastating mental health crisis, pushing her to the brink of suicide.
But with the unwavering support of her family, Gemma embarked on a long, challenging journey towards healing. Her story is not just a personal account; it’s a fierce and urgent call for change, shedding light on the systemic issues within military culture that must be addressed.
