I asked Shaun White what his goal was for his final Olympics. Was it about a medal? Or was it more than that?
He speaks about the other competitors like a proud dad and it tells you a lot about the athlete we all watched him mature into.
I thank him for opening up to me 🙏

‘The Flying Tomato’ has become the GOAT, and Shaun White leaves snowboarding as one of the all-time greats 🍅🐐

So upset that

Kyle Muthulingam, 16, ran into the water at Woodbine Beach on Friday to help a mother and son in distress. He did not make it out alive. He went to an arts high school (Wexford) and his friends painted this beautiful tribute on beach rocks.

When we are out in the field, we are at. work. Please respect that. It's like if a stranger just appeared at someone's office, went up to a person's desk and started harassing them. It's not funny, it's not okay.

These four future journalists are changing the future of journalism together. Because of them, their petition + hard work....Ryerson University will now offer a course called "Reporting on Race: The Black Community in the Media"
A new course about reporting on the Black community will be offered to students this fall at Ryerson University — and it's all thanks to the hard work of a few journalism students.
