Published Works
This article began as a facebook status, which was widely shared and commented on. HuffPo Canada asked to publish it, where it continued to spread. It also spurred a response article where I addressed some of the questions that kept popping up. This piece is very special to me, it’s one of the first times I saw my words affect people in a measurable way.
For Her commissioned this piece after the Wonder Woman teaser trailer was revealed at ComicCon 2016. The original title was “What Would Wonder Woman Do?” which I think is a stronger title, but alas, editors. (PS: I also didn’t use the phrase “pro-woman icon”. I said she was a feminist icon. I was informed that was a bit political for their tastes, to each his own).
After teaching a workshop for Women in Information Technology Management, Women in Computer Science and Women in Engineering at Ryerson University, I noticed this phenomenon and had to write about it. The piece was then picked up by Code Like a Girl, a Medium publication.
