Part of why I write the Draconim series is to remind youth they do have the power to create change. That message isn’t always welcome here in Alberta—but look at the students walking out today, protesting cuts to education and standing with teachers. Young dragons are rising. They’re a force for the future.

There’s fear in writing these days—not just fear of your words being used against you, but fear for your readers.

What does it mean to empower young people when speaking out might put them at risk? I wrestled with that in my latest blog post.
