As a woman of colour, here’s what I would love my friends to consider.
So much needs to be spoken here. Growing up in Alberta, Canada, in a relatively small town, with a racially mixed family, I have a perception of the conversation of race that may not be shared by most. This is such a deep and wide topic, and I have but…

My therapist Amanda has referred to the following as playing "Whack-a-Mole". In December of 2018, my interest in cleaning up my life led me to decide to stop drinking alcohol. The habit of needing that glass of wine at the end of each day was not feeling healthy to me.…

Goodbye Locs
