An important read, as fertility decisions affect nearly everyone. The @ijbstories.bsky.social's Wendy-Ann Clarke, Myrialine Catule & I spent months investigating this industry. Thanks to the brave women who shared their stories. We hope our findings bring change. nationalpost.com/feature/egg-...

This story isn't just about the challenges faced by one family in their health care journey. But also examines what's available & not available in our public health system - & if society knows about those restrictions. My heart goes out to Caileigh and her recovery. vancouversun.com/feature/teen...

My first Bluesky post (I'm a late learner) after making the acc't awhile ago. Fitting that I'm posting an update to a story I wrote in 2019, before Bluesky launched and when Twitter was nice. A warning: this story is disturbing & is about sexual assault. Take care. vancouversun.com/news/canadia...
