Susannah Andrew

About

Susannah Birch is a mental health activist, family violence survivor, and accomplished businesswoman based in Toowoomba, Queensland. She survived a violent attack by her Mother as a toddler, and grew up with a tracheostomy tube in her throat. She still has a paralysed vocal cord, a scar, and a breathy voice as a memory of what happened. At the age of 15, Susannah met a man online who she believed to be two years her senior; after three years of dating and twelve years of knowing him, she discovered he was in fact a catfish who had been lying about many details of his life; the only true fact was that he was based in Queensland.
