Hi everyone! Welcome back to another blog post! Today I'm going to be releasing some TCC trivia! These are little tid bits from book one and some spoiler tidbits from the second book! (nothing major though lol).

Hello everyone! I am very excited to announce in the next few weeks I will be airing on CBC television during one of their Saturday morning programs. The footage will be composed of two things, parts of my motivational speech at one of the schools I've recently visited, and a formal sit down interview! I am extremely excited and as soon as I've confirmed the air date I will let everyone know! So spread the word guys!!! 

For now, here are some pictures of my amazing day with CBC at a school I've recently spoken at, Romeo Dallaire Public school!

The students in the pictures with me below were specially selected to read The Crystal Chronicles prior to my visit to answer a few questions about my book by CBC. The six of us will all be featured together on TV! A big thanks to Sivan, Lauren, Kyla, Alyssa, and Ethan for doing some a great job with your CBC interview! <3 <3

As always I am eternally grateful for all the amazing opportunities and all the great people I've met so far. It really blows my mind sometimes. If you told me a year ago I would be on TV, I would've laughed pretty hard It just goes to show that if you have passion for something and the drive to work hard, it really will pay off in the end. I definitely wouldn't be here without all the incredible love and support I receive wherever I go! I now know for sure that I will spend my life working to inspire others to reach their own aspirations.
