A Brush with Royalty

The story behind the secret petting zoo visit of Princess Charlotte and Prince George still intrigues me. The takeaway: always take a screen grab.

Had a wonderful time in Winnipeg this weekend. The Canadian Museum for Human Rights is a must see. The Nelson Mandela exhibit is deeply inspiring ✊🏾 Got my macaroni and cheese fix at @kevinsbistro. Divine. Meaningful connections were made and conversations had at #CAJ19. Fact: Winnipeg is indeed WINDY!! Like, Mary Poppins sweep you away kinda windy!

There are some amazing Black women doing amazing things in this industry. Today, I met two of them 💁🏾‍♀️💁🏾‍♀️

Representation matters. Looking forward to moderating this discussion at the CAJ Conference in Winnipeg. (PS...technically, I’m still the interim exec, but I’m also very much looking forward to sharing more about the work being done by the Canadian Association of Black Journalists. Stay tuned!). #journalism #media #racerelations #reporterlife #caj19 #CABJ

Happy Tuesday 🙋🏿‍♀️ On the blog this week: my greatest regret. (Link in bio ☝🏾) There are some things in life you have to go through in order to grow. Then, when you get to the other side, your smile and the joy behind it means so much more. . #worklife #faith #tuesdaymotivation #journalism #reporterlife #media #leadership

Pro tip: Marry the man you love. Share your faith with him. The joy will be real. Happy Easter everyone 🙏🏾 . . . . . #faith #hope #love #blacklove #sunday #easter #churchflow #Vancouver #christiancouples #reporterlife

I realized this week I’ve been to many communities across this country, but the lens through which I see these places is...different. Often times, I’m there because tragedy has struck: a wildfire is threatening homes, an avalanche has claimed lives. What brought me to Penticton this week? A man shot and killed four of his neighbours. Penticton is a beautiful lakeside community, one of many in B.C. The people are friendly...but they were also shaken, understandably disturbed by what had happened here. That said, seeing communities through this lens gives me the chance to see its heart: it’s resilience in rebuilding, compassion amidst grief. The kind of thing small town Canada is made of. I don’t know whether I’ll get the chance to come back. If I'm being honest, I often don't get the chance to return. Hopefully someday I'll get to see this place, and others like it, through a different lens. #Penticton #news #journalism #reporterlife #BC
