Few experiences in life come close to meeting Rosalie Silberman Abella. In the documentary Without Precedent, she shared that one of her guiding principles has always been “don’t be popular, be respected.” Thanks @uocommonlaw for inviting me!

Honoured to have spoken about building inclusive communities (TL;DR humility & know what you don’t know) as part of the @uocommonlaw orientation! Thanks to @AmySalyzyn & @samuelsingerlaw for inviting me. Welcome @uOttawa JD ’26 and wishing all students happy start of term! 🎉🎓

Among the experiences was a visit to the Whistler Mountain Inukshuk to discuss its roots in Inuit culture and its use to symbolize openness and strength, two qualities that many communities across the country are demonstrating as the effects of the climate crisis become.

Belatedly sharing the special time we had working, learning, and playing on the traditional territories of the Coast Salish peoples—including Musqueam, Squamish, Tsleil-Waututh & Lil’Wat Nations—at the Institute of Engaged Leadership this past week alongside other scholars,

Can’t think of a better way to spend the morning than meeting @KarenGrepin, getting to know @lforman better, spending time with @RoojinHabibi, discussing, learning, and demolishing several round of dim sum! Thank you for having me! 🥰🥟.
