If you have a feature about this coming up on your show or you want someone to write for your publication on anything from new body disposition technology to the technicalities of Will writing, then have a look at MortaliTEA and get in touch.
My very own small business which does exactly what it says on the tin. Plus sized styling for women (cis & trans).
