SNEAK PEAK BEHIND-THE-SCENES!
I’m living the uber glamorous life of a soon-to-be published author, y’all! Currently it looks like reading through my manuscript for the umpteenth time to catch final edits before my deadline. GLAMOROUS, right??

My substack has gone through a rebrand AND I have a #bookreview of the recently released book DECOLONIZATION AND ME. Spoiler alert: it is a MUST READ! Read my full #substack post for my takeaways.

What a fun and joyful podcast - with 2 of Edmonton’s best authors!! 😍 @sgwong.com @premeemohamed.com

The high temps have made the snow/ice on my residential unplowed street the consistency of kinetic sand. Got my car stuck in front of my house trying to leave. Took 4 neighbours, sand and road salt + a shovel, to get me out. Grateful for helpful neighbours and frustrated with unplowed streets.

This makes me SO HAPPY!!! You are the perfect person to be overseeing it!!!

When genocides are ongoing without any end in sight, when the world is literally on fire, when human rights are being compromised - this is when our work is most necessary.

What really is the solution to the world’s problems? How do we combat the dehumanization of “others”?

Empathy.
