Incredible and so well deserved
I’m grateful to PEN Canada and the Star and those who nominated me. I want this award to represent hope for young journalists who see abuse and the isolation that comes with speaking up. Do the work, and watch an authentic community spring up around you.

As always, proud of my friend, colleague, and comrade in her bravery and knowledge of what is just.
It is with mixed feelings that I receive the Young Leaders Award from @CMA_Docs. I am appreciative of this recognition. I am grateful to my nominators, which include mentors and learners. To be nominated in the first place by these wonderful people has meant the world to me. /1

Just a PSA that it seems that the place where the sky is blue no longer needs an invite code. Join me! So far the ratio of cats : fascism is delightful.

A Scream for Gaza - Nabil Echchaibi, 2024 “We must stop watching Palestinian suffering as a form of emotional tourism. Seeing their pain this way depoliticizes their grievances and turns them into perpetual objects of a hypocritical gaze.”

If you didn’t speak up before, now is the time. That goes for you too, @UofT - is an injunction to get police to remove students protesting this really how you want to be remembered?
