I continue writing (almost) daily. And now I'm looking at going back to school. I hope to secure funding for this program: The Writer's Studio at Simon Fraser University. I have a couple of people at the Canada Council for the Arts helping me out with the process.
In other news, I have been accepted into a part-time program run by Yale University in conjunction with Recovery College: Lived Experience Transformational Leadership Academy (LET(s)LEAD). I will be doing course work and working with a mentor on a project for the program. I expect that the things I learn there will be useful for my advocacy work. I never expected to be accepted into an Ivy League school. Neato.
I am also continuing my education with Tungasuvvingat Inuit in Ottawa. I have been learning about such things as human trafficking, how to deal with police, conflict resolution, and traditional Inuit ways of knowing.
Earlier in the summer, I was able to attend the Centre of Indigegogy's session on honouring the land. I enjoyed it, although the material did not seem to include Inuit perspectives.
At the end of the month, I will be making a pilgrimage back to the east coast. I hope to see some folks in Fredericton and Moncton, as well as my parents in PEI. I have obtained my PEI pass, and hope the island does not get shut down again because of the pandemic. If it does, my parents plan on camping with me in NB or NS. Adventure in the time of Covid. I am grateful I am fully vaccinated.
September 4 marks my return to in-person vending. I will be selling my wares at the Indigenous Art Market held at Huron Natural Area in so-called Kitchener. If you're around, won't you come and see me? I almost forget how people work in-person. You can give me a refresher.
