"White inmates benefited the most from efforts to reduce Ontario jail populations during the COVID-19 pandemic[...] Indigenous, Black and non-Black racialized people remained incarcerated at higher rates and spent more days in custody than white people."

It's been 21 years since my art was in a group exhibit (or any exhibit, really!). Very grateful for this opportunity and the joyful, collaborative process that got me here 🙌 Reception is tonight.

Whenever I bring my grief & broken heart to the woods, she always gives me gifts in return. This morning it was 2 marbles 🔵

My friend brought me treats from the independent bakery she works at, and the box they came in had me immediately thinking #risograph. This would be such a fun riso design! 🍩

I'm very excited to have 3 works included in this group exhibit, opening Thursday! Grateful to be a member of both Niagara Artists Centre and Willow Arts Community, spaces that have invited me in to creativity as a playful, collective experience, rather than an isolated pursuit of perfection.

Older Mennonite churches usually don't have gender neutral bathrooms, so I just use the one with the best vibes✨️

Recommended reading for those interested in learning what was going on in kkkanada at this time. The klan had a powerful influence in the 1920s & 1930s Conservative party, particularly in Saskatchewan, which is where my maternal grandparents grew up.

Tomorrow I'm leading a discussion about migrant justice at a local Mennonite church, so I drafted a short discussion guide for congregants to take home. Get in touch if you'd like the file for your own congregation! Graphic from Mennonite Action.
Stack of papers with a purple graphic that reads "GOD'S LOVE KNOWS NO BORDERS". Title underneath reads "A brief introduction to migrant justice in Canada: Church discussion guide"

This month I've been focusing on writing and neglecting my visual practice, but tonight I made some time to create a piece with scraps from my physical desktop. Felt good to get glue on my fingers again!

Every year #GlobalDrinkWineDay happens during #BlackHistoryMonth, yet too often the African and Caribbean migrant workers who sustain the global wine industry are totally ignored & exploited.

Another world is possible and migrants are organizing to make it reality!
