âMy co-workers and I would text each other in the mornings like, âAre we even allowed to be working? Should we even open? Because this isnât safe for any of us. Itâs not safe for the customers.ââ - student Kennedy Halwa, as told to @UVicWriting's Melody Powers

Together, we are telling the human story of climate change so we confront its inequities and injustices. The @nna_ccj's citation is a powerful recognition that this story can be told in collaboration with disaster-affected communities.

The citation, which honours experimental journalism that transcends âcategories, newsrooms and the industry,â belongs to the educators, journalists, students, and disaster-affected community members who came together to create the Climate Disaster Project.

A warmer world is a more traumatic world. Thatâs why @uvicwritingâs Sean Holman and @kingsjournalismâs Lisa Taylor worked with students at @ukings last semester to teach them how to cover climate change with a trauma-informed lens. #climatechange

𧔠If you know me well enough, you'll know I've been working on a book for a long time. It's a book about a very long bike ride, but really, it's about pride, shame, and the things we carry with us.
And it's coming out NEXT YEAR.
Thanks to @PottersPress for believing in it. 1/3

This book wouldnât be possible without about 100 people, including my publisher, @LesleyChoyce; my MFA supervisor, @deborahcampbell; my family and friends; the many experts who generously shared their time/knowledge; and the people I met on that fateful bike ride across Canada.
