We’re so thankful for all the time, energy, hear

We’re so thankful for all the time, energy, heart, and soul that Aerin Fogel (@queenofswordsband) has poured into the creation and growth of @venusfestival since its launch in 2017. Venus Fest, Toronto’s Feminist Music & Arts Festival, has made Toronto cooler and improved Canada’s music industry. Aerin recently announced that she will be leaving the fest, but her legacy lives on. We loved her heartfelt message, which we shared par of in next slide ➡️, and can’t wait to watch and experience the continuing evolution of Venus Fest.

If you know someone (or are someone) who’d make a great Artistic Director, they’re currently looking to fill that role.

After her husband dies, So-Young (Choi Seung-yoon) decides to leave South Korea for Canada, where she hopes to provide a better life for her young son, Dong-Hyun (Dohyun Noel Hwang). From working long hours at a tedious factory job to Dong-Hyun’s difficult experience as the only non-white child in his Grade 1 class, the small family faces many struggles as new immigrants in a new land where they know no one. Safety and comfort is found in the tender and quiet moments at home, where they sit closely to savour the Korean dishes that So-Young prepares with such love and care, but the world outside is harsh and lonely.

From the breathtaking performances to the stunning art direction and beautifully-timed pacing, compassion is evident in every frame of this film. Indeed, Shim’s sophomore feature is a feat and cinephiles will be in awe of what the Korean-Canadian filmmaker has achieved. Link in bio to read more. It’s no wonder it was named Best Canadian Film at the Toronto Film Critics Association Awards (Canada’s largest film prize with a $100,000 win), and is nominated for 6 Canadian Screen Awards including Best Picture, Achievement in Direction, Original Screenplay and Performance in a Leading Role. Go see this magnificent film.

Canadian charity @aftermetoo has launched a new we

Canadian charity @aftermetoo has launched a new website with SO many helpful resources for anyone experiencing workplace sexual harassment.

The site answers common questions that arise for survivors, offering a safe, judgment-free place to turn to for legal information, career guidance and emotional support.

The articles are written compassionately, practically, and honestly, laying out research-based facts, #MeToo stories from from survivors, and easy-to-understand legal information specific to Canada.

“People who are supposed to protect you [from sexual harassment] probably won’t. That’s a harsh reality, but knowing the truth about your options will help you get out of this okay.”

🔗 Head to the link in our bio for more on this incredible new resource.
