Stand Up Speak Up

This is the first episode in a series about missing and murdered native women in Canada. We head to Kenora, Ontario to tell the story of Delaine Copenace, a 16-year-old aboriginal girl who went missing in 2016 and was found in Lake of the Woods a month later. We speak with her mother Anita Ross, who is still trying to make sense of her daughter’s death.

There is a disproportionate number of homeless LGBTQ teens on the street, but most people don't talk about it.

House of Mayhem is talking about it. House of Mayhem is a new tv series about LGBTQ youth in the foster system. It gives today's teens hope that they will find acceptance and love.

We speak with creator/writer David Pumo about the plight of LGBTQ youth.

We also speak with actress Quei Tann, former America's Next Top Model contestant and one of the stars of House of Mayhem. The once homeless youth shares her story and inspires others to overcome it.

We talk a lot about mental health and fighting your inner demons. But what happens when those demons take over? It's a sad conversation, but one that we need to have. That's why this episode takes a look at serial killers. But there's a twist. Instead of looking at their actions, we look at their poetry.

We delve into their minds and try to understand more about what made them that way. And we try to understand if there's anything we can do to prevent more murders from happening.
