Didn’t think I would love writing for CBC Life as much as I do. I get to write about products that I love and actually use.I thoroughly enjoy it. Plus as an actor, writing always the flexibility I need to be available for auditions and filming. So it’s a win win.

Make Lemonade is a Toronto Workspace for Women. I’ve been hibernating recently and it’s always around this time when I start to come out of my den. So in anticipation of that, I started looking into co-working spaces in my city. I stumbled upon Make Lemonade and thought it looked so refreshing. I made a mental note to look into it further. Literally two days later the editor in chief of the Make Lemonade blog, Chanele McFarlane, reached out to me for a blog feature! Continue Reading…
