Hey all, this is from an email I sent out, but figured I`d post it on here as well!!

This month (November) I was able to be a part of a Youth General Assembly for the Selkirk First Nation, in the community of Pelly. There I co-facilitated an anti-bullying workshop called "The Rhythm of Respect," with two BYTE staff, and two local dj/musicians. We were off the heezy. The youth were 96% First Nation, 4% Caucasion, and took in our drama`s, illustrations, and testimonies well! We used drama, hip-hop and breakdancing, and personal stories to share the power and energy that is created when people live together with respect, like what happens when people stay in rhythm!

Also this month, actually, late October, my friends at the Boys & Girls Club (staff and youth) stayed outside a Gov. building from 5am-5pm to raise attention about the increasing need for a Youth Shelter. This brouth radio play to the crisis of Youth not having a safe place to go to if their homes/living spaces are not safe. It also brought radio attention to TIG, and our two main partner org`s in the Yukon, BYTE & the Boys & Girlz Club.

And lastly, Jonno from BYTE, Bringing Youth Towards Equality, where I work out of, and I hosted some of the youth from the B&G Club for a Guide to Action workshop. Together, we made posters of what we hate, what we love, and how we can work towards seeing and living more of what we love in our community! It was night when I was reminded of the preciousness of youth. Many of these youth use the B&G Club as a result of having no place, nor no one, else to chill/chill with. So it was a powerful hour & 1/2 of ice cream, mocha`s and sharing. It was sweet!!!

Hugs and High Fives to All,
