My hope is that one day we all realize that addiction is a coping mechanism to something much deeper going on and that for all of us to heal, we need to be on the same side in wanting us all to feel like we belong, we are safe and connected.

Reforming our policies on the use of illegal substances can save individual lives — but also help our neighbourhoods thrive.
I don’t judge you for yours, don’t judge me for mine
Who are you to judge us on our addiction?
A friend of mine has died today
Criminalization, stigmatization and ugly looks put her in a grave. All because she used a drug. Does not mean she wasn’t brave

The minute I was labelled…I became a case file
I used drugs to find purpose and freedom. Today, I find freedom in love and purpose in sacrifice and service.
