Women in Somalia face almost unimaginable oppression.

I am so proud to be a Canadian.

We all waited on an afterlife. Only I planned to be alive for mine.

Being in the dark, there's a real weight to it. It's heavy.

Contemplating Christmas when you are isolated and far from home brings its own unique pain.

I have watched lives change. I have seen women gain confidence.

I think it's the human spirit inside of all of us that has an enormous capacity to survive.
