With @LowCarrie for the launch of the Gender-Based Violence Doula Toolkit. Carrie is so amazing for how she advocates for survivors with so much courage and grace while living through such deep trauma. ❤️❤️❤️

Next week on Monday! Amazing panel with amazing speakers - all welcome! Time is ADT. @SchulichLaw @dalprisonlaw @Schulich_CrimJ @ElJonesPoet @DebraParkes @ArdathJean @MarthPaynter
