Interview with “Prisoners” Producer Kira Davis

September 20, 2013 by Katya Leave a Comment

As one parent to another, I'm going to ask you to imagine something extremely painful. Imagine that your child is missing and you feel the police weren't doing enough to find her. As hard as it is to think about, try to... for just a second. Now... how far would you go to find out for yourself where … [Read more...]

Music Spotlight: Seeing the Light with The Autumn Portrait

August 20, 2013 by Sonya Leave a Comment

Once in a while you come across a song that just makes you smile. It's different and refreshing. I had bumped into Freddie Mojallal (aka The Autumn Portrait) at a bar downtown recently. He's one of those guys you want to just give a hug to as soon as you see him. He's such a warm guy with an equally … [Read more...]

Artist Spotlight: Jon Shaw

July 4, 2013 by Sonya 1 Comment

I often paint and draw, it's my "outlet" and I get my creative fuel from speaking with other artists. It's like going for counselling as art is so personal. Each work of art I produce is almost like giving birth (I said almost). I nurture and spend time with my art taking a few years to complete. … [Read more...]

Growing up.

May 23, 2013 by Sonya Leave a Comment

I'm not sure when it happens. At some point in our lives, we all realize we're adults. (sometimes I think I'm starting to become my mother, but that's another story) Yep. Grown ups. Maybe it's when my teen son gives me a reality check about not cranking Ri-Ri too loud when his friends are around … [Read more...]

Chatting up filmmaker Rob Stewart, REVOLUTION.

April 18, 2013 by Sonya 2 Comments

It's just past 11 o'clock in the morning and I've made my way to Cafe Diplomatico or "The Dip" we've often referred to. It's a main-stay along College Street where everyone from suits to moms with strollers and old timers like to hang out. It's one of those joints where you can just be yourself. … [Read more...]

On work/life balance with Anissa Holmes

March 6, 2013 by Sonya

I always find people so fascinating. I was raised with the understanding that everyone has a story and each one of us is unique. As a mom, I can respect that and appreciate whatever the circumstances may be. We are all looking for that balance. I'm inspired by hearing about what other women are … [Read more...]
