FOR WOMEN (AND MEN!) WHO DARE TO CALL THEMSELVES FEMINISTS
Being an Immigrant
well, not really, but an immigrant to Quebec. This year has truly opened my eyes to how hard it is to pick up your life and move to a new place with a new language. It takes real guts. It takes so much humility and drive to learn a new language and to try and find connections with people so different from you. Well, actually, the connections come pretty easy once you have a way of communicating. The women in my French class are all so different and amazing in their own way. It has really put alot of things into perspective for me to realize that even though I have struggles, I am sooooo priviledged to be a Canadian Born white woman. But I find myself defending women`s rights in my class all the time, to women who don`t realise that the politics pertaining to women used to be much much worse here in Canada. It kind of scares me that so many people take the advances we have made for granted. I am so glad that I was raised by a good Mom and in a good place, Newfoundland.
That`s all for now, must get back to class and figure out how to say `woulda, coulda, shoulda`en francais! (Conditionnel Passé)

I am working on this play about domestic violence which is also quiet funny. Not as a director - but as the AD and mentor director. I have invited Berni to come to give us a talkback on Saturday night after the show and there will be something delic…
I'm older than you and have kids, but when I was your age, I felt the urge to have children for the first time - a very strong urge that was completely irrational, and very surprising.
I became pregnant with a one night stand, and was tempted to kee…
