I lost my mom what feels like a lifetime ago - 11 years, almost 12. She told me to forever spend her Mother’s Day gift money on cards celebrating the amazing moms in my life. Every year a few stacks of these go in the mail to friends and it always takes away the sting. ❀️

About 14 years ago I was a Jane Doe too. I watched today closely - I am so glad to see a court result that shows progress in our country. Today is a win for all of us that wanted to hear the world guilty and did not. Love to #janedoe as you heal.

Suspect there are a lot of women and girls impacted by the latest news of sexual violence in Newfoundland and Labrador: for every reported sexual assault, many others go unreported. A small donation to @NLSACPC goes a long way to ensure all survivors have the support they need.
