A big thank you to CBC, Haligonia, Seaside FM, and the Halifax Magazine for all media coverage I have received since returning home. Through these interviews we are effectively giving the people of Thembalethu and Nqiningana a voice, their stories will be heard after a long fight against Apartheid.
On Friday I had a really wonderful interview with Mark Kelley, award winning journalist with CBC who has his own show which is broadcast all across Canada, Connect With Mark Kelley. We enjoyed a gorgeous sunny day outside on my patio while Mark interviewed me, trying to gain a better understanding of what makes me tick and how it is that I took the step to do this difficult, and non-traditional work. He is a lovely, charismatic person and very easy to talk to. The interview will be broadcast sometime in the next 2 weeks, stay tuned! In the meantime you can read a short story that they wrote about me on their website. http://www.cbc.ca/connect/2010/08/champion-of-change-from-halifax-to-south-africa.html
