Wordcraft is the name of the game. A mocha blend of business, music and the love of creativity, I hold personal integrity above all else. A picture says a thousand words but a thousand words are behind every picture. The karma police are for real.

Caitlin Decarie (Writer)
Categories: Human Rights, Social Media

‘When you get to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on’ is the quote that I live by.  I was born and raised in Barrie, Ont. but I quickly learned I had a passion for a world beyond the small city.  Now, with a degree in international development and globalization, I’ve moved to Toronto to pursue journalism.  I hope the two fields will allow me to learn and teach others the cultures and realities of different countries.

Apart from that, I’m a Psych major, have an undying love for indie music, noisy typewriters, rusty Polaroid cameras, reading excessively and eating healthy.

Kendyl Sebesta A journalist by day and an eco-enthusiast by night, with a serious bent toward all things nature. Bookstores are my second home, camping gives me peace, and writing means the world to me. On my To Do List: Set foot in every continent (especially Antarctica), see a Great White shark up close (but not too close!), and leave the world even just a tiny bit better than I found it.
