Auguste Knuckles sharing stories from his powerful new book, Beaten Black and Blue.wav
Auguste Knuckles is a Chef and has worked in a huge range of kitchen environments over the years, from small independent restaurants to large high profile kitchens. Last year, after a serious mental health episode, Auguste was forced to confront his up to then buried past and seek out help to address a history that he had avoided confronting to that time.
By last Autumn, Auguste had written and brought out ' Beaten Black and Blue' a deeply personal account of his life and some of the key moments that had driven him to addiction and very challenging mental health episodes.
Since its release Auguste has been encouraged to continue writing and we are delighted and honoured that he has agreed to come on to Belongings, to talk more about the issues and the challenges but also the tools and mechanisms he has employed to be able to live with and overcome those traumatic times.
