I have the privilege to work for refugees on behalf of #UNHCR. Currently on my way to evacuate my family from Kyiv. They are refugees and soon I could be one too. Open your heart to refugees no matter their colour or race as you could be next. #withrefugees

Food banks are NOT the solution to food insecurity. Real solutions lie in policies that establish income equity, affordable housing & healthy communities. Ensuring the right to food isn't about giving people more food, it's about supporting their ability to access it themselves.

Dear 2022, Thank you for submitting your manuscript. I regret to advise that I did not feel as enthusiastic about it as I wanted to. First of all, there are simply too many plot lines for the average reader to follow.

I've been writing and commenting non-stop for 11 days. Today, I could barely get out of bed. I can't bring myself to write anything longer than a tweet. I am sorry I'm not responding to media requests. The war in my country is a personal tragedy I still have difficulty to accept.

Thank you Russia at the United Nations for your letter dated March 16. Please see our suggested edits below. #StandWithUkraine #RespectTheCharter

40 years ago this couple sponsored my mom to Canada as a Vietnamese refugee. If it wasn’t for their generosity, I wouldn’t exist. Whenever I get to spend time with them, I’m reminded that life is short, kindness wins, and small acts of love can make a huge impact on others. ❤️

Good morning to this woman. I hope she’s having a fucking gorgeous day 😍

Instead of “outdoor living” meetings where City of Peterborough strategizes to clear encampments — I’d be interested in Encampment Support meetings where we can figure out how to keep people alive this winter and support their basic needs.

Today is International Overdose Awareness Day. 72 brothers, sisters, partners, children, parents, friends in our small community have lost their life in the last 12 months in the Peterborough Public Health region. I hope you can spend time today reflecting, learning and calling for action 💜

Hope can be defined in so many ways. This morning’s conversation at One City Peterborough was “Hope is good infrastructure.”

“It’s not just a building, it’s a hub where people have come together & the community has connected with families that stayed here.” Saying goodbye to Glebe House, where several hundred refugees spent their first nights in Peterborough peterboroughcurrents.ca/community/sayi… via Peterborough Currents

Outside my studio, a community member was using baby wipes to clean themselves in the heat, and unfortunately attracting a lot of negative attention from onlookers. I wasn’t even sure myself exactly how to help, or if it was appropriate to interject, but thankfully, outreach
