This week’s Global TV segment was born out of a post I wrote on my personal Facebook wall a couple weeks ago that received a lot of feedback.
It was an appeal to my mom and dad friends, and it went like this:
Truthfully, my kids are upset with me because the rule states that we can have friends over to our homes now. Most of their friends are having friends over, and many of my friends are too, but I still don’t let anyone in our home.
And boy, this doesn’t jive well with my kids.

Last week, I had a 45-minute conversation with my friend Catherine-Verdon Diamond whom I asked to teach me. Educate me. I hope you will listen and let her teach you too. We have to be deliberate here.
In case you’ve noticed, I took a little hiatus from recording new episodes of our show. Truth is, COVID-19 put me into such an introspective mode. I have been digging deep for my family AND for myself. COVID also sprung me into my life’s work as a wellness advocate as a life coach and yoga teacher, and I have been busy with that.
But after the killing of unarmed George Floyd, I felt totally outraged, completely horrified. I realized I have a platform, and a voice to hopefully make a difference. What is happening in our country and in my neighbors to the south, takes my breath away.
Today is about having an honest and candid conversation between two women, a black woman and a white woman, two friends, two moms with two boys, two women in the Quebec public eye, two women who long for an inclusive society where we are all treated equally regardless of our race, or religion, or ethnicity, or sexual orientation, or gender.
