I tried something new this past year — I narrated an audiobook!
It’s called Securing Canada’s Future: Vital Insights from Women Experts, edited by Aisha Ahmad and published by the University of Toronto Press.
I learned so much through this experience and highly recommend the book.
You can listen to it here: https://www.amazon.ca/Securing-Canadas-Future-Insights-Experts/dp/B0FC6ZFDHJ/ref=tmm_aud_swatch_0
Thank you to Sound Understanding for this opportunity.
"Securing Canada's Future tackles the most pressing national and international security challenges that Canada will face in the decade ahead, with insights from women who are leaders in the field of security studies.
After decades of uncontested dominance, the era of American hegemony is ending and a new multipolar world order is emerging in its place. This transformation is also occurring alongside uncontrolled climate change and the development of volatile new technologies. Together, these factors dramatically complicate the global threat landscape.
Securing Canada's Future offers a comprehensive analysis of the most serious challenges that Canada will face in the near future. Written by leading Canadian women scholars and security experts, this collection covers the most critical risks and threats on the horizon, including rising Chinese power, resurgent Russian aggression, escalating competition in the Arctic, the near irreversibility of climate change, disaster management and mitigation, evolving cybersecurity threats, and gendered violence." - https://utppublishing.com/doi/10.3138/9781487542030#:~:text=Written%20by%20leading%20Canadian%20women,change%2C%20disaster%20management%20and%20mitigation%2C
I had two fantastic days filming new commercials for Canadian Footwear in Winnipeg.
Canadian Footwear is a family-owned business that's been around since 1932!
I flew into Winnipeg to shoot two of the three commercials I pitched, wrote, produced, and am now directing for Canadian Footwear.
I’m enjoying my new job as a Commercial Writer/Producer for Corus Creative Services.

While we were filming an episode of my travel series "Seeing the USA" in Louisiana we visited the Whitney Plantation. It is about an hour outside of New Orleans.
It is the only plantation museum in Louisiana with an exclusive focus on slavery. Here Dr. Joy Banner told us about the lives of the enslaved who were forced to cultivate sugar and rice on this plantation from 1752-1865. Joy is a descendent of some of the enslaved people who worked here.
