You are Always Worthy →

What I learned is that if you are trying your best then that is usually good enough. The problem isn’t you per se, but the other people. I was trying so hard that I realized I was trying way harder than other people and not getting good results. I was always supportive of people, so I would go to volleyball games to cheer them on or stay after school to help. I was always available if somebody needed help with their homework, someone to talk to, or any help they needed. When I needed their help, I experienced a lot of ghosting, and not being invited was difficult.

My Onion Journey

Yet, while I was in college, I felt a whole new level of emotions. When I was a junior, I felt a mixture of sadness, then anger, and then resentment. I was worried about my next step in life. I was afraid to ask my mom to discuss my family planning future with my geneticist or endocrinologist. “What if I can’t have kids?” I’d often wonder.

Land Acknowledgement

As a platform operated by a Métis woman, this acknowledgment is to lift up the sacred diversity of the original First Peoples and caretakers of this land that we live, work, and thrive on in Taranton, Toronteau, and T’karonto.

We acknowledge we operate on the traditional territory of many nations, including the Attawanderons, the Huron-Wendat, the Anishinaabeg, the Mississaugas of the Credit, and Haudenosaunee. All are home to the Dish With One Spoon—a treaty based on stewardship, reciprocal sharing, and sophisticated governance and healing practices, and is covered by Treaty 13 with the Mississaugas of the Credit. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island, including First Nations, Inuit, and Métis.

We acknowledge that we are all treaty people and accept our responsibility to honour all our relations.
