It was so much FUN to meet Annie F Downs and get to be a part of the See Hear Love viewer question segment! I have been working on See Hear Love since episode 1 and it felt so cool to be in front of the camera! I was first…

A tribute to my Mother who has given her all. All her time, surrendered all her desires, all her love, given all of herself for her family. “Where do I belong?” she asked as she boarded a plane that took her on a voyage quite literally into the unknown. At…

“You are not a welcome people!” were the words emphatically stated by an immigration official to my father. He was just graduating from his post-secondary studies as an international student when he was hoping to start a new life and had applied for Canadian residency status.  It was well into…
