After she said her piece - a penny dropped in my brain as to why this interview was so important. Giving H + PM a safe space to tell their truth allowed dust to settle. To shine a flood light on three important issues…

Joie De Vivre I
Enthusiastically I’m clicking through the shots — until I come across one that kind of screeches me to a halt. The inner-insecure model in me is slightly horrified. I’m looking at a photo where my bum is facing the camera as I’m turned towards the ocean, frolicking in the waves. But my bum is not perky. I have a double butt.
To Feel or Not To Feel
“To feel or not to feel? That is the question. Maybe somewhere in between. Thank you, ex lover, for showing me the grey area.”
Cuties.
Cuties has stirred up loads of controversy. To me, this film is an extremely important art piece. Most of the emotions that surfaced for me while watching are eerily similar to what prompted me to write Dear Daughter last month.

My Taylor Swift Revolution.
I used to really dislike Taylor Swift. Not for any real reason - and I’m really not proud of it. But now! I am thrilled to say I absolutely love her. This little revolution is something that I feel needs to be shared, because the root issue is pretty deep… And Folklore just released last night and I stayed up all night waiting for it to come out and putting my thoughts into writing…
Scheherazoom! An Invitation.
A model that uses participatory theatre and artistic practices to empower displaced populations to overcome the trauma of enforced migration, and both benefit from, and contribute to, their host communities. I've witnessed that through using forms of theatre (including dance, music, poetry), as a tool to explore global issues, mental health and more, we start to heal.
Happy Kanata Day, Eh'?
On July 1st, 2020, let’s take this as a reminder to educate ourselves. Although this article was initially meant to be light hearted, I was quickly humbled by the importance of a deeper message…

Taking The LEEP
With some small flicker in my head, I thought about my procedure and this timeline of my emotional decline. Could there be a side effect I was not made aware of?
Fear.
Fear is an absolute ass. Ironically, I am most afraid of my own fear.
To Seek Attention
Ladies… I think I’ve come to a bit more of an understanding as to why we date D-Bags. And why we can't figure it out when we’ve met an actual decent guy. And why we get bored and go for the bad boys again.
It's OK to Cry in the Airport
Sometimes it’s only in the moment when you know you are going to miss your flight that your heart finally lets itself admit to you how badly it wants to be on it.
