Snagged a copy of Good Mom on Paper. Some breathtaking work in here by Dr. Lorri Neilsen Glenn 🇨🇦, @AdellePurdham, Rachel Giese and more. I'm not a parent, but I was extremely moved by these pieces about a world that wants to silo women and how these writers and artists grapple with that.

I can’t say enough about Mirvish Productions’s production of “Indecent.” This is its last week, so HIGHLY recommend seeing it. Thank you Paula Vogel and Studio 180 Theatre for an absolutely brilliant work. I can’t stop thinking about it.

When communities invest in #GenderEquality and women's empowerment, they also build a foundation for peace. 🕊 More gender-equal societies are more peaceful societies.

The conversation has been started. Looking forward to continuing it. CMHA National Rainbow Health Ontario Women's Health @WCHResearch University Health Network
