A couple of weeks ago I was surprised to find a DM from D. Cole in my "Direct Messages" Tweetdeck column. She was asking if I would be willing to be interviewed for an article she was writing. It is a bi-weekly article she posts on the "Shameless Magazine" website. Each of her interviews begins with the following statement: "Every other Thursday I profile a new incredible woman, each from a different walk of life. Different professions, causes, backgrounds, ethnicities, orientations, and anything/everything else!"
With an intro like that you can't be surprised that I was feeling very humbled by having even been considered for such a write-up.
For those who are not familiar with Shameless Magazine you should know that they are "Canada’s independent voice for smart, strong, sassy young women." One look through their online mag and you will see that it is "a fresh alternative to typical teen magazines, for girls who know there’s more to life than makeup and diet tips. Packed with articles about arts, culture and current events, Shameless reaches out to readers who are often ignored by mainstream media: freethinkers, queer youth, young women of colour, punk rockers, feminists, intellectuals, artists, activists — people just like you! We tackle teen life with wit and wisdom."
As I said, it was an honour to be asked to participate in the interview and to have my voice heard with so many other amazing womyn!
