    Heather Marshall's debut novel LOOKING FOR JANE, is ALL ABOUT women fighting for their reproductive rights. So it could not be more relevant to bring you this conversation with Heather, on the heels of the U.S. Supreme Court voting to strike down the landmark Roe v. Wade decision, according to an initial draft majority opinion written by Justice Samuel Alito that was circulated inside the court and obtained by major media outlets.

    Heather's thoughts and vast knowledge on this topic is beyond worthy of your time and attention. We discuss the vital importance of reproductive rights - not just for women/women-identifying folks - but for ALL humankind regardless of sex or gender, her totally masterful debut novel, the reason this topic is so deeply important to her, how she came up with the idea for the book, and so much more.

    Heather Marshall lives with her family near Toronto. She completed master’s degrees in Canadian History and Political Science, and worked in politics and communications before turning her attention to her true passion: storytelling. Looking for Jane is her debut novel.

  • AN UPDATE from OLGA KRAKOVNA on the war in UKRAINE

    Since we spoke with Olga just last week, Olga has now single handedly raised over $18,000.00 for the war in Ukraine - WOW!!!

    These funds have specifically gone towards hospitals, to purchase medical supplies. They've purchased ventilators which were urgently needed, among additional medical supplies and equipment needed to heal the wounded and those in need of medical help and attention in the war zone in Ukraine. This support is truly incredible and we can't thank you enough - for being a part of the Breaking Brave community - and for supporting this incredibly urgent and worthy cause. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Olga and all of us at Breaking Brave are beyond grateful.

    --

    Olga came to Canada in 2001, holding the hand of her 8 year old daughter in one hand and a cart with 4 pieces of luggage in another. She was a single mom just wanting a better life for her daughter. She brought in her mom and sister who are now the most proud Canadians she knows. As a professional, she built her career working in Telecom (Bell) and at tech companies like Oracle and, now, Splunk. Like many other Ukrainian women in Canada, Olga helped Ukraine in 2014-2015, when Putin took Crimea and pieces of Lugansk and Donetsk regions. And today, when the bombs are falling on schools and apartment buildings murdering and hurting children  in the middle of Europe in her native Ukraine, like thousands of other Ukrainian women, Olga is waking up and going to bed with a sole purpose to help Ukrainian people, to reduce suffering, to save lives. Each of us picks her way, her starfish to save. Each of us sends money to Ukraine to enable individuals resisting this aggression to keep fighting, keep living. Each of us is a part of her own  "chain of trust" where we give to people we trust. Olga's way is to be nimble, be agile, make the most impact with whatever money she gets. These causes are not always "sexy" but always save lives and reduce suffering. Thank you all for trusting Olga and for making a real difference.

    Direct Notes from Olga below:

    Here are the names I mentioned: 

    Daryl Wood who were the first to send me the money without questions asked

    My new friend, a Jewish community leader Avrum Rosensweig

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avrum_Rosensweig

    Iryna Shpak, the lady whose son was killed in his bed

    Diana Makarova and Roman Donik, volunteers in Ukraine I support

    Rostyslav and Iryna Bilchenko - Canadian Ukrainians who organize aid for the hospital, currently targeting 15K for medications. Rostyslav is my osteopath who used to be a doctor in Kharkiv City Hospital #2 , so he is helping his ex-colleagues

    Oleksiy and Olena Dotsenko, doctors in Kharkiv City Hospital #2 who manage the hospital at this difficult time and tell us what they need.

    ..and one more name, Oleksiy Arestovich, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oleksiy_Arestovych = when I referred to the presidential adviser calling on Ukrainians to be a part of the war as required by the Geneva convention

    In regards to money: 

    e-transfer to me: [email protected]

    paypal to Ukraine : Olena Penkovska  [email protected] - this is my best friend who will direct wherever we need to.
