Recharging The Revolution
Happy Summer Revolutionaries!! As I sit down to write this today, I am reflecting on the importance of both rest and community. Rest is something that many on our team find hard to fully do. We are action oriented people who see so much...

June’s Celestial Dance
For me, June is a month that is filled with reflection. As a teacher, June marks the end of the school year and the closing of a moment of time with people who I have come to love. It’s a time where I proudly look at my students and hold...

Love can change the world. That has been the rallying cry of Revolution Now since we started in 2021. We operate with the belief that if you share your story with others that people will feel it and want to help in creating healing. The...

The Rainbow Awards
Sometimes it’s hard to find words to describe when something life changing happens. It’s hard to describe when your gut just knows or when your spirit just lights up knowing that the Universe just aligned in a beautiful and perfect way....

#WeDream
Happy Summer Revolutionaries!! This time of year I often think of my Grandma and how we could be mid-conversation and she’d say “isn’t it so nice the feel of the wind on your skin.” She had an uncanny ability to pause and make everyone...

Raise The Flags
Pride month is on the horizon and it has me reflecting on the power of symbols. Symbols like the pink triangle that was used to identify gay men in Nazi concentration camps or the raised fist the Black Power movement that both have been...

A Position of Love
Happy April Revolutionaries!! I want to start this month’s blog by giving a HUGE shout out to the team at Wellington PS for their work in bringing Stonewall survivor, Martin Boyce to share his story with many GSA leaders from across our...

Spirit Day 2022
Spirit Day is a day that makes me reflective every year. I remember my first experience with Spirit Day back in 2012, a couple of years in its infancy, and my very straight friend and brilliant educator Paul Bartolomeo implored our staff...

A Vision Of What Could Be
The Queen of England dying really caused me to pause and reflect. As a woman with British ancestry, I was strongly impacted by my loving Grandmother’s reverence for the Queen. We were a family that never missed hearing her recollection of...

Happy August
Happy August Revolutionaries!! I am reflecting today on the feelings that arise when we consider and begin starting something new. This summer my daughter and her friends have been obsessed with trying new rides at Wonderland. They are...

We See Thee Rise
My favourite line in the Canadian anthem is “with glowing hearts we see thee rise”. This resonates with me because that’s the Canada I want to believe in, get behind and sing and breathe into existence. I want to see Canada rise into a...
The Dichotomy of Joyful Rebellion
It could be because it’s my birthday month or maybe it's because Pride is around the corner or maybe it’s because I spend my days with young people whose lives started years after Canada’s marriage laws changed; whatever the reason, I...

Launch Party
I recently had the privilege of hearing Juno nominated, Anishinaabeg musician Nimkii Osawamick perform. In his presentation he spoke about how it took him “years to find his voice”. I was absolutely moved listening to him and...
