Did you get the chance to read my new blog post, Framing Britney Spears: What is Conservatorship?

If not, check out the link below! My new blog outlines the basics around conservatorship, and what her situation would have looked like in Ontario - would she have been "freed"?

After watching Framing Britney Spears, I realized that this is the perfect opportunity to blog about a very important topic and start the dialogue surrounding conservatorship (ie. guardianship) and what this looks like in Ontario!

I had so much fun getting to write this post, so let me know your thoughts!

What I’m reading - Haben: the Deafblind Woman who Conquered Harvard Law. Haben's memoir is an interesting yet informative journey which discusses details from her childhood to post-law school, all while navigating barriers and pushing for inclusion.
Germa's memoir is  inspirational and has proven to the importance of perseverance in order achieve your goals and dreams.

I just started reading "Can't Even: How Millennials Became the Burnout Generation" by Anne Helen Peterson, which is an interesting look at the Millennial generation in the view of economic opportunities, expectations, and what we are told to do to succeed: work, work, work! It is interesting how this “success motto” has not worked for a whole generation and has led to a new epidemic of burnout. While the book mainly focuses on America, it is interesting to understand this burnout phenomenon and the systemic issues that keep a whole generation working, and working with many feeling that they aren’t further ahead.
