Thank you @efryvancouver for having me at your AGM. Recognizing systemic inequities and generational trauma - and supporting healing and recovery for women & families - is vital.
Excited for EFry’s BBQ on Sept 28 at Queen’s Park, where I’ll share my book and donate the proceeds 💙 #AStrongerHome

#AStrongerHome won the 2025 Sunshine Coast Writers & Editors Society Book Award! 💜
Honoured to share my story alongside some amazing BC authors - and reminded of the privilege of being able to tell my story when so many can’t.
Hope that one day, every voice will be heard. @orcabook.bsky.social

Thank you, Keri Adams & CTV Morning Live, for having me on to talk about #AStrongerHome and the urgent need to end #GenderBasedViolence.
1 in 3 women in Canada face it — and it deeply impacts our communities. It starts with all of us. 💪

Just did several interviews this week about gender-based violence — heartbreaking to hear that a third woman in B.C. has died from intimate partner violence in just one week.
We need more awareness — and more actions!

I’m proud to have played a role in launching the 10-year #ChildCareBC & #10aDayPlan — knowing that a new child care system is possible. But most provinces have now passed BC on fees & ECE wages. It’s time to re-prioritize child care—for families & our economy. Let’s get back on track. #bcpoli #bced

Imagine 67 children killed every day… 2 mothers every hour…
These are not just imagined numbers — this is the reality in Gaza. Children and powerless civilians are dying while the whole world watches… and barely anyone acts.
Where are our politicians and so-called leaders?

Honoured to see our townhall with Deputy Premier @nikisharma.bsky.social featured in @richmondnews.bsky.social! 🏡
At 安信 @ComSavings, we discussed affordability, racism & belonging—and how community-owned, culturally grounded banking can build equity and respect.

This is a powerful, fact-based statement. It’s unacceptable for elected officials to deny colonialism, the reality of unceded Indigenous lands — and the lasting trauma it causes. Learn the history.
@rohiniarora.bsky.social spoke the truth — and many of us stand with her.

Happy to continue my annual Community Scholarship @caribooSD41 — this year awarded to Olivia Nwabueze, a remarkable student recognized for her resilience and work for justice and #equity.
As we celebrate the grads of 2025, let’s not forget children without access to education.💛

How can anyone stay silent while innocent children are being killed, murdered, and starved?
Thousands of Palestinian children have lost their lives. This isn’t just about one nation or one people—it’s about our shared humanity.
Where are our so-called leaders and politicians? #bcpoli #cdnpoli

To my #bcpoli friends: I hope the stories can inspire your efforts to end all forms of violence through fundamental investments in #BCed, #ChildCareBC and meaningful systemic reforms. 💜

May 7 is Child & Youth #MentalHealth Day. Time to properly fund supports for kids 0 to 18. #BCed and #ChildCareBC are struggling, with too many kids missing the help they need.
Investing in children means investing in families and our economy. Think long-term—our kids deserve it. #bcpoli
