So I have had the weekend to recuperate. Well, maybe only a little bit. I am in tour withdrawal – no more live performances for awhile I think. Looking back over the last two weeks, the tour was a real success. We got to meet all kinds of amazing young people, and I am pretty sure we connected with most of them. It is not every day that three young successful musical artists come into a ...

Final installment of the ‘Girls Rights are Human Rights too’ school tour is about to commence. Think airplane take off. What a whirlwind three days. We did seven presentations in 3 days – SEVEN. When we finish something, we go out with a bang. I feel like I should get a special cookie for how long this tour has been (amazing but still long). I am in the mood for gingerbread. ...

Hello, Toronto. I am glad to be back home. Eating takeout every day was taking its toll. You can only eat a sub so many days in a row before you are all subbed out. I took a breather the first couple of days back to catch up on all the emails and phone calls I missed while I was away. My mom was sure worried about me!

First up on Monday was WL Mackenzie CI and Mary Shadd PS. So many ...

The show is a real eye opener for young people. Some of the stats that are thrown out, like 1 in 3 girls around the world will be physically or sexually assaulted, and every year 2 million girls are killed before or after they are born simply because they are a girl, are things that are never heard. In Canada, we have this idea that girls have already achieved equality, yet they make less than ...

Viva Montreal! The hotel bed was incredible last night. I hardly wanted to get out of bed. You know those cold winter mornings where the air is cold but your bed is so warm and comfy – so comfy you think about faking being sick just so you don’t have get up? That is how I felt this morning. Then I remembered I was on tour and next up was Royale Vale.

The show went great, it was a ...

So we just finished up here in Ottawa and will be leaving soon for Montreal. It should be a great road trip with all of us and our luggage packed into a big, 12-seat van. Probably not quite big enough though! We are having some very interesting conversations as we travel in between shows. Eternia, George and Masia One all have such interesting tour stories and experiences to share, but none of ...

I got on the plane to Ottawa this afternoon just in the nick of time. They literally held the plane a couple of minutes just to make sure I got on. Luckily the flight was nearly empty so I didn’t inconvenience too many people! It is going to be a very busy two weeks. The ‘Girls Rights are Human Rights Too’ school tour begins tomorrow and I am both extremely excited and already exhausted. ...

Day four at the YUGA camp was another packed day. After breakfast, we started off with a Scavenger hunt. We split up into our family groups and scoured the premises for all of our objects. We had to search for about twenty objects that ranged from a ballpoint pen to a glass of lemonade. The trick was that we all had to stay as a group wherever we went. None of the groups had any problems. ...

Ahhh, finally! At midnight, Camp Aldersgate felt immediately like an oasis after a seventeen-hour flight from Toronto. Sarah and I were delayed in Toronto for five hours due to a flight cancellation that resulted in us having to sit through a six-hour layover in Washington D.C. We were elated and relieved upon our arrival in Providence, Rhode Island.

The first night at camp, I had ...
