It matters for each and every one of us to work toward building an authentic community of curiosity and leadership rooted in optimism, love and understanding for one-another.

Sharing is an important component to the work that I do with animation because sharing leads to connection.

Who's missing?

Inclusive practice means having allies from the very start.

A bit of a caveat with active listening as a way to be more inclusive: not everyone is ready to share their story.

There are universal themes in stories that allow us to connect.

Sometimes work is a season; you have to take a break so that you can reconnect with what you love.

We are the best versions of ourselves when we are given the opportunity and ability to ask for help, and knowing that the response we are going to receive is compassion.

We're the best versions of ourselves when we truly accept the uniqueness and backgrounds of one-another's identities.

I’m hoping that even in the thing that you are currently surviving and currently pushing through, that you are finding ways to keep yourself supported.

What if you grew up believing asking for help didn’t matter?

I've learned that words can create spells. And words can even breake spells.

I share my story so that people who are going through what I've been through don't feel alone.

All I ever wanted was for people to be proud of me. And the only ones who matter are my family.

I've heard so many stories of other peoples lives and all I ever wanted to to was to share a piece of mine.

You, me... we are not broken people in my mind. We are experienced, we are used for reminders and examples of what and what not to do.

I always knew. Since I was born, I've had this deep feeling that I was special. But I didn't know that part of that uniqueness was attributed to the colour of my skin.

Because nothing moves as slow as the moment you feel lonely.

Isn't a smile itself enough to strike even the slightest licking both of happiness.

Diversity means being invited to the dance and inclusion is being asked to dance.

When you have tough conversations, when you have moments where you have to build relationships and build the love, it has to be done in person.

Demonstrate your value at all interactions. This means you sort of have to be ‘on’ all the time.

Do truly great work that has measurable results.

You have to love what you do, and you have to show it.

When you do well, we all do well!
