“My voice is now a crime” The women of Afghanistan are now ghosts in their own country. Taliban dictate that when women leave their home, the they must cover herself completely – face, body & now her voice. When the world remains silent, what makes you different to the Taliban?

After winning his first Paralympic medal, 🇨🇦 Jesse Zesseu was overrun with emotion in our interview. He was thinking about his family. And the decision to immigrate to Canada 20 years ago this week. It’s a silver at the Games. But it’s so much more.
