I value and honour the values and systems and identity of each person I work with. I respect and celebrate each individual’s diversity and difference. I am committed to honouring and valuing the diversity represented in the people I work with and their unique expression as it relates to gender, religion, social status, culture, ethnicity, learning style, ability, race and sexual orientation. I strive to create a safe accepting space that welcomes and fosters each individual person and promotes diversity, equity, justice, equality and belonging.

1. I work and broadcast from  Montreal, Canada. Montreal is known as Tiohtia’ke, which is unceded indigenous lands of the traditional territory of the Kanien’kehá:ka, mohawk and the anishanebg “Algonquin’ people. Canada is in North America, Turtle Island. Kanien’kehá:ka, has long served as a gathering place for many First Nations including the Haudenosaunee , st-lawrence iroqouains, mohaawk and Huron-Wendat and is home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit and Metis peoples.
2. As said by Phyllis Reid-Jarvis, a guest on my podcast, “Land acknowledgments are more than words to recite; they are a call to action to foster better understanding among those who occupy the land. Land acknowledgements are a first step in moving our nation towards truth and reconciliation.”
