Oh good. A man just drove by, rolled down his window, screamed at me to “Tell the truth” about COVID and then yelled that I’m a dumb “c-word”…he felt comfortable doing this while driving in his work truck. Welcome to being a journalist in 2022.
My mom & I just went to Service Ontario to transfer car ownership. We already signed a sworn statement that says we’re mother & daughter, but Mom also brought family pics in her purse (incl my grade 1 class photo) just in case they asked for more proof

2 things that helped me the most with my anxiety: Talking about it & hearing others talk about theirs. Saved me to know I wasn’t alone. I tear up as I type this b/c it meant so much. I still deal w/anxiety, but now I’m better at breathing thru it. Removing shame was key

Can’t stop thinking about Jennifer Neville-Lake. Yesterday I had at least 3 convos unrelated to this story where I asked the generic “how are you?” The person’s answer? “Feeling down. Did you hear about Ed Lake? So sad.” If strangers feel this way, I can’t fathom how she’s doing.
It’s Mel’s last day

At the time, talking about it seemed worse than the anxiety attack itself. But I was finally able to breath again when I realized I was FAR from alone. Forever grateful to those who shared their stories w/me & to

LEGEND. A fantastic journalist who so many of us have looked up to for the last 30 yrs. I was 1 of the lucky ones to get to work w/her & sit beside her for the past decade.

Thank God. An entire murder had to be caught on video in order for justice to be served for an unarmed Black man, but it happened. I hope his family, especially his daughter, finds some peace. And I pray his death will not be in vain.

, folks!
If ppl find 2cms of my upper arm that distracting, there are bigger issues at play for them. & as one who’s been judged based on my non ‘sleeve-related’ appearance many times, I don’t think women/men need to change to fit a standard that makes rigid folks feel more comfortable.
I am struck by how many women on television news wear sleeveless dresses- often when sitting with suited men. I have always felt it was demeaning to the women and this suggests that I am right. Bare arms undermine credibility and gravitas!

Some personal news:
The scariest words ever said to me were "You have cancer". Now 11 years later I have heard words that are even more frightening. "Your cancer is back. Stage 4." I found out two days before Christmas and I admit it has taken time to process.
Now imagine if these were

protesters? IMAGINE! Would they have gotten up one step of the Capitol? Of course not. Please pay attention to how people react to this, how it’s reported and how authorities respond to it. The difference is already clear as day...

When I was a kid, I’d see Tina Turner on TV & always thought she was my mom! 😂 They looked alike! Same legs too. I didn’t understand why mom was in a music video when she was supposed to be at work. The “mom” memories & the incredible music…thanks for all of it
