Public speaking terrifies me. So naturally, I became a TV reporter … then wound up at a major newspaper multimedia news outlet. Facing fear led me to a fun, rewarding career in journalism. Then I left a full-time permanent job and am now facing fear of the unknown. Fear has the power to cripple or propel. I believe in drop-kicking anything that scares you (kids and animals excluded) and using fear as fuel. I’m writing the next page of my story and would love to tell yours.

Thank you so much for your piece in the Tuesday July 14 Toronto Star.
This is exactly what I’ve been feeling,
As soon as the entire issue had been on the news, I stated to my husband, “oh, of course he’s still alive, he’s white.”
I am a 71 year old white woman, and it’s clear to me what’s going on.
Mr. Singh was exactly correct.
Thank you so much for reading and making time to respond!
