Women shouldn’t have to rally to demand something as non-negotiable as their own safety.

Men’s violence is a National Emergency.

We need to start treating it like one.

Do y'all remember Harper's draconian punitive criminal justice policies? Mandatory minimums? If PP is elected in, this country will head towards a dark, dark path that will impact the most vulnerable groups - immigrants, Black, Indigenous & People of Colour.

You could say, this book took generations to write. Started by my Uncle Hank, continued by me. My new book, The Knowing, is about the search for the maternal matriarchs in my family and their lost and taken children as they experienced the mouth of genocide. In searching for
