This year has been a year of upheaval without being Reno-victed from the place I have been living in for several years because it is not up to code.

Add a housing crisis and 1% vacancy and I find myself I.

The middle of yet another middle.

It’s amazing how miraculous being blessed with a dog has been. Vader has taught me how to love and care and trust in a living being who loves me unconditionally. I have fought tooth and nail to keep him in my life and he has protected me without even understanding what was going around him. He is the most loyal friend and I am constantly amazed by how intuitive and caring he is.

Many people are still confused and wary of the term white privilege. It does exist. We can be a part of that shift in culture if we inform ourselves and listen to other people’s experiences. These are some of mine as a person of colour in Canada.

Just some observations.

The word "no" is often taken for granted.

My own ability to assertively say "no" has greatly impacted my growth as a human being and healing process.

I hadn't realized until recently just how many people, myself included feel uncomfortable saying the word "no" because of how other people react to it.

Just some observations.

Words matters.

Having been involved in some extremely eye-opening conversations as of late, I will be exploring how the phrase "Be Nice" has affected my traumas in the past.

This understanding within myself has been instrumental in my own healing process and will continue to be food for thought going forward for me.

The world is not what it was in January.

I will be discussing my mentality going into isolation and what fuels my current mindset in our new Covid-19 reality.

Through this new podcast, I will be exploring the emotions and experiences that have fuelled my designs starting by discussing the death of my best friend. With isolation and Covid-19 restrictions, grief has been a challenge to face without a physical community. In an honest discussion, I am finding new avenues to understand my grief
