About the Author

I am a 27-year-old Canadian woman born and raised in the beautiful Northern Ontario. I am a traveler, an urban explorer, a photographer with a gypsy soul. I am a mother of two beautiful children, a daughter to two wonderful souls, and an older sister to one lovely woman. I have a college diploma in social services, a diagnosis of both depression and anxiety, and I am an advocate for those who may feel they do not have a voice. I am a social activist passionate in everything I do. I am a huge believer in self-care, in self-love, and I am simply inspired to inspire. I believe in throwing yourself at life, and taking chances like vitamins. I open my chip bags from the bottom, but hate when toilet paper comes off the roll from underneath. I believe in being different, and I embrace the fact that I am often what people describe as being “weird”. Writing has been my chosen therapy, because I find my strength when I am alone. I am open minded, I love to learn, and I enjoy not having too many friends. Lastly, my best friend in the world, is probably my Pitbull.
