      <image:title>About - About</image:title>
      <image:caption>My name is Tracy Assing. I write. From the time I could read I knew I wanted to write.  My indigeneity is an important part of my identity and I felt like I needed to write against my community’s invisibility. I have committed a lot of my work to writing us back into history. I was raised on the banks of the Arima River and I have always had a very close relationship with nature. As part of my process, I take every story on a walk through the forest, to a waterfall or to the sea. Everything comes together in the forest. We are a reflection of our environment and Nature is the greatest teacher. During my career I have helped clients navigate complex situations through strategic communications, edited annual reports, business, entertainment and travel magazines; produced thought-provoking, emotive short films that tell unforgettable stories, written on a variety of subjects for every media format and conducted numerous interviews with politicians, business leaders, activists, artists and everyday people unearthing authenticity and hidden narratives. Through my stories, I make connections.</image:caption>
