Hello there!
My name is Linda Bùi, my pronouns are she/her pronouns and this is a space about things happening in my life or reflections I have on life, hence the blog name.
While my work and residence takes place in many spaces across Turtle Island, I acknowledge that I am a second-generation Vietnamese-Canadian settler on the traditional territories of the Anishinaabe, Huron-Wendat and the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation covered by Treaties 13, 14, and 19.
I am a community organizer, co-founder of the Girls Empowerment Movement (GEM), co-project coordinator of the Empowered Phụ Nữ Collective and currently with the Council of Ontario Universities. Outside of work and volunteering, I love binge-listening to podcasts, knitting and hiking.
I initially began this blog during my university years as a space for me to document personal reflections and to explore my storytelling voice. It also provided a much needed break from my typical student life routine of writing academic and research essays. After some time away from it, i.e. forgetting to attend to this page, I tried to revive it during my co-op placement abroad living in Sri Lanka and again during my experience with the Ontario Legislature Internship Programme.
Now, I’m using this space to document random reflections, when I do remember to tend to it. This includes my my annual year-end/new year reflections, which I’ve been able to do now for several years 🙂
