An uplifting collection of conversations with creative, entrepreneurial, diverse people across Canada.
Bloom Across Canada is a fascinating collection of fifty interviews and portraits that celebrate diversity, innovation, creativity, and entrepreneurship. The women and non-binary people featured in this book represent different backgrounds, creative journeys, and walks of life. They come from every province and territory in Canada, though many have roots in other parts of the world. The one thing they all have in common is that they have followed their own path in life and have a unique story to tell.
Among those featured are: Tene Ward, ballerina with the National Ballet of Canada; singer/songwriter Kellie Loder; Peace Akintade, Saskatchewan’s former Youth Poet Laureate; Marika Sila, Inuit actress, hoop dancer, fire performer, and motivational speaker; and Amy Robichaud, CEO at Mothers Matter Canada and former director at Dress for Success Vancouver. Through insightful questions and thoughtful, nuanced answers, the fifty interviews in this beautiful collection paint a vivid portrait of talent and ingenuity from coast to coast to coast.
