A HUGE thank you to @AmieVarley and @saramfung for meeting with me over coffee and sharing their journeys of grit so openly and candidly. I had such a pleasure crafting this feature for @JournalismTMU <3

[Amie Archibald-Varley @AmieVarley]

I am always in awe when someone reaches out to write a story about myself & @saramfung. Who would believe that all of this started with two people connecting over #mentalhealth trauma within the workplace? Thank you @KinzaisTyping for writing this piece❤️

Writing this story was a challenging yet rewarding journey. I'm super passionate about using my lived experience in my journalism and I'm beyond ecstatic that my story could be part of the women issue. This is the first of many personal pieces to come!

@KevinVuongTO @MooreintheAM Kevin, you did not fulfill your promise. When asked to confirm that you will NOT speak on details of the allegation, you replied: "I don't think it's fair to the complainant." Instead, you highlighted "two teachable moments" from what happened.

@KevinVuongTO @UnboxedMarketCA What about your job to not hide sexual assault charges from the military and from the Liberal Party? What about your job to listen to your constituents when they are telling you to QUIT?!
