Hi & Sat Sri Akal friend, I hope you are keeping well! I'm writing this on a cozy Thursday afternoon, the snow is falling outside and I'm noticing how grateful I am to be in connection with you. I was born and raised on the west coast of Canada in Burnaby and Maple Ridge, BC on Musqueam, Squamish, Tsleil-Waututh territories. I now live primarily in Halifax-K'jipuktuk, Nova Scotia on Mi'kmaw Treaty Territories. I have a Ph.D. from the University of British Columbia, and a passion that lies at the intersection of research, entrepreneurship, and femininity. I aim to run the Hopefulness Research Institute through the perspective of cyclical living, sustainability, and all of us women and gender-diverse people getting to live our best lives wherever we live in the world. https://www.hopefulnessresearchinstitute.com/ https://imwithperiods.com/
