All in Interview
Dr. Dean Ornish has already accomplished a lot—but after interviewing him, it seems what has been most important throughout his career has been getting the root cause of the problem—whatever that may mean, for each of his patients.
Dr. Jane Aronson was travelling abroad when she realized the need for programs targeted at helping children get proper healthcare and education.
To kick off Toronto Fashion Week, activist and founder of the Responsible Trust for Models Elizabeth Peyton Jones spoke about her experience in the industry and desire to create safer work environments, especially for children and teens.
I wrote about Eric for the Toronto Star because of his initiative to properly recycle to-go coffee cups.
I wrote about Loizza Aquino for the Toronto Star last month, ahead of an event to remove the stigma surrounding mental health and suicide.
Last month I spoke to Shamus O'Reilly before he came to Toronto to enjoy a cannabis-infused dinner with nine other Canadian veterans.

Last month Knixwear founder and CEO Joanna Griffiths was brainstorming ways to raise awareness about body positivity.

I was scrolling through my Instagram explore page when I saw a post about the Bad Girls Collective, a book club inspired and dedicated to connecting women around the city and discussing great literature.
This month, I got to meet Andrew Forde, a Toronto-based violinist who has been working on a new project inspired by Glenn Gould. (In case you didn't know, Gould is one of the most well-known Canadian pianists, but as Forde pointed out, was extremely eccentric.) I sat down with Forde at Revolution Recording in Leslieville while he worked on a track with rapper Shad. I wrote about it for Metro Toronto, but Forde had more to say about Gould's and his own philosophies on music, performing, his next steps, and his partnership with Roots Canada.
I got to talk to Lido right after her Polaris Music Prize win for best Canadian album, when she was awarded $50,000 for La Papessa.
