Name: Margaret B.

City: Glendale, AZ

Brain Injury: TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY (TBI). I was born in 1964 and had a happy childhood in Indiana. Around the age of four I was playing in the front yard one day I followed an older child across the street. I was struck by a car because I was not tall enough for the driver to see me.

Explanation of mask:  The yellow side represents before my injury. There was nothing wrong. I had all my amazing cognitive abilities, even a photographic memory. The other side with the broken pieces represents parts of me that are healing and still coming back together. The blue and green pieces are brain fragments that are floating around up there. They aren’t coming together, they are doing their own thing.
