My Wildly Particular Life - An Introduction

August 10, 2020 Marcelle Longlade

So here’s the first look into my crazy story...

As a child I always felt different. Always felt I couldn’t keep up with the others. That I couldn’t match my brother, cousins, friends... I just didn’t have the energy, that’s how I explained it to my toddler self. No one really knew anything was wrong, including myself…

My current battle is to step into raw authenticity and own who I am, completely, not be ashamed. Launching this, is a step in that direction. I’m grateful for you reading and allowing me to grow and be better for myself and others.

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.
