Meet Sally.
She’ll be sharing her story "16 Percent" at Tess Talks — and it’s a showstopper. 💥
For years, she was told “you’re fine” by every doctor she saw. But she wasn’t.

Her condition went undiagnosed for far too long, and the journey was anything but easy.

She fought. She endured. And now, she’s on the other side — ready to speak her truth. 💬💪

Born and raised in Winnipeg, Tess is sharing a story that changed her life — it’s called “Whatta Trip,” and it all began after she survived five brain surgeries for hydrocephalus.

Searching for healing, she didn’t end up in the Peruvian jungle... but somewhere deep in the Whiteshell, where she took part in an ayahuasca ceremony that was equal parts intense, hilarious, and deeply transformative.

“Whatta Trip” has it all: laughs, tears, and more than a few gasp-worthy moments.

Come hear it — and four other unforgettable true stories — at Tess Talks, running July 17–28 at the Planetarium Theatre.
