Walk a Mile: A Journey Toward Justice and Equity in Canadian Society
2016
Walk a A Journey Towards Justice and Equity in Canadian Society is the first text of its kind to combine both cognitive and affective dimensions of studying diversity. It does so through an experiential framework that encourages self-reflection on the part of the reader while providing a strong foundation in the history of diversity in Canada. Using as its starting point the notion that creating a more just, inclusive society, requires each of us to figuratively and empathetically walk a mile in the shoes of others, the framework of Walk a Mile facilitates the development of diversity competencies, equipping students to work and live effectively with people from a wide variety of cultural, religious, economic, sexual, and age backgrounds.
Permission to Just Be. (the memoir)
Coming 2026
Permission to Just Be is a deeply introspective memoir tracing one woman’s journey across continents in search of a home within herself. Through raw journal entries and tender letters to her former self, she reveals the contrast between her outward success and inward disconnection. Achievement becomes her armor as she silences a quiet longing for authenticity. Each place she visits becomes a mirror, reflecting the parts of herself she’s hidden. With every “Dear J, I see you…” she begins to soften, listen, and reclaim her truth. This is a slow, imperfect awakening. It is a tribute to the messy, nonlinear path of becoming whole.
