Introducing Jennifer Crawford!
JENNIFER CRAWFORD IS A PUBLIC POLICY PROFESSIONAL TURNED FOOD CREATIVE AFTER WINNING THE 2019 SEASON OF MASTERCHEF CANADA.
 On top of being an enthusiastic eater and chef, Jennifer brings a bold, candid and engaging look at mental health, addiction, self-compassion and joy.
Jennifer spent a lifetime in a state of panicked overachieving and building what looked to be a successful life and career in public policy. They soon found their way to rock bottom via their own crushing experiences with PTSD and alcoholism; turns out, this feeling that it was all over would be the catalyst for all the good things to come.
Jennifer's main message today is one of self-love, acceptance and nurturing joy; if there's anything Jennifer loves more than smashing a whole pizza to themselves, it's smashing stigma. Since winning MasterChef Canada, they've been busy sharing the message through food events and speaking engagements that healing is available to us all, no matter how bad it's been; the things that take us down can become our superpowers.
Jennifer's topics include:
Mental health and food
Emotional wellness, innovation and creativity in the workplace
Creativity and healing from PTSD
Alcoholism, addiction and recovery
Culinary queerness and community
They're also adept at hosting, consulting and cooking for bespoke public food events. For more on Jennifer, click here for a video profile by Xtra.

Alicia Elliott's timely message resonates across Canada
 Tuscarora writer and author of A MIND SPREAD OUT ON THE GROUND, which was shortlisted for the 2019 Hilary Weston Writers' Trust Prize for nonfiction, has been sharing Haudenosaunee philosophy with audiences across Canada.
It seems that every week another scientific study comes out telling us climate change apocalypse is imminent. Latest estimates put us at 2050 - a short thirty years from now. But to look at the decisions Canadian politicians are making on behalf of the entire country, you wouldn't be able to tell. What would happen if we all decided that a person's responsibility isn't only to themselves and their families, or even to the government of Canada, but also to the Earth upon which all of us depend?
In her talk, Alicia Elliott leads us through the history of Haudenosaunee philosophy and literature to examine the nature of activism, and who is considered dangerous "activists" in a post-Oka, post-Caledonia Canada.
Listen to Alicia on CBC Radio One The Current, HERE.
