Collaborate.

The space between people working together is filled with conflict, friction, strife, exhilaration, delight, and vast creative potential.

-AN INCOMPLETE MANIFESTO FOR GROWTH

Bruce Mau

My friend, Lydia Phillip messaged me in April to create a cover photo for an article titled “Maple Flavoured Mass Incarceration”. There are so many amazing things I can say about Lydia, but her passion as an intersectional feminist and her work to empower marginalized communities is the most important. I met Lydia through our mutual love of flying and instruction, and she is both kind and a badass.

My ask is you take a minute to read the above article about prison issues happening in our country. This is not an issue found only in America. Please do not choose to remain willfully blind to an issue that is impacting people of colour in Canada. Specifically Indigenous and Black communities.
