Chatting with Casey

It's Children's Mental Health Week, and I've partnered with Children's Mental Health Ontario to bring some additional exposure to some very real stories about children and the struggles they've endured in a world that's only growing more complicated.

To kick the week off, I chatted with Kimberly Moran, Chief Executive Officer of Children's Mental Health Ontario about what CMHO does, why Children's Mental Health Week is important, and what we can all do to be part of the solution.

Come give it a listen!

In Chatting with Casey #17, I sit with Nelson Caetano, Toronto artist, husband and father to chat about our shared histories as comic book fans and creators and his upcoming project The Gathering Place!

You can find Nelson on Twitter!

In Live from the 3.5's third chapter for 2019, we examine the question "Where are you from?"—one that every Canadian person of colour's been asked at one point or another. Not what block, not what city—what country your roots trace back to.

In this episode, I got together with Sherley Joseph from the Black Canadian Content Creators Facebook group, who's Haitian-Canadian, familiar with podcasting, and has some things to say!

In the midst of interviewing all these guests for Live from the 3.5, I get to bounce bits of my story off of theirs, but I never really get to dive into my story itself.

But in Chapter 2: "Being Black in the Great White North", we look back at a community talk I gave last year to give you some insights on what it's been like for me being Black in Canada! It's not always easy, but it doesn't need to be impossible—we talk about all that and more in this episode!

In the months since I wrote my incendiary Father's Day post, I learned from the experience and the things we could all do better in a world that has but two days recognising the myriad of parenting situations out there.

For this episode, I teamed up with Jennifer Tammy of Sugar, Spice and Glitter fame, who'd called me out on my views back when this all started. With her life as a single Mom, Jennifer helped me see things I took for granted in my two-parent household and learn some of the stigmas that still exist against single parents to this day.

Includes a shout-out to André Proulx from the award-winning podcast Two Guys Talking Wine for keeping on me to get back to the 'cast.
