She published her first book of poetry, “I Was Born Sick,” at 17 years old, and she is currently getting ready to release her second poetry book, “Convalescence.” Kelsey’s poetry focuses on a variety of different topics and reflects parts of her own life, such as falling in love, experiencing homophobia, toxic relationships/breakups, mental health struggles, activism, and healing from trauma. Kelsey hopes that through sharing her story, she can connect with other people who’ve been through similar things and remind them that they are not alone in their struggles.She is also planning a third poetry book, titled “Between the Fire and the Flood, the Quiet War Within.” This next effort will focus on the current global political climate, and how climate change is wreaking havoc on communities worldwide.

The Tornado of Tease, Bitch Sassidy(she/they) is a burlesque performer, producer, choreographer, instructor, and entrepreneur renowned throughout western Canada. Raised in the Canadian prairies and currently based in Mohkinstsis (Calgary, AB), Bitch has built a prolific career on her dynamic stage presence, rebellious nature, and counterculture aesthetic.  Co-founder and artistic director of The Cabaret Company (formerly Cabaret Calgary, named one of Imperial Burlesque Canada's Top 3 Cabaret Production Companies in 2022 and 2023, winning the top spot in 2024), their work as a producer, choreographer, and performer has been enjoyed throughout the prairie provinces and interior BC.

Supporting the Supporter - A Workshop with Jenna Slaney

Very exciting news! On June 6th, we have Jenna Slaney from End Sexual Violence NL & St. John’s Pride coming down to provide another workshop roundtable event!

 

This roundtable will focus on the impacts of being in a “supporter” role within the community and/or non-profit sector. Jenna will facilitate the group through topics of compassion injury, healthy relationships, grief/loss, and collective care as we navigate these difficult parts of this beautiful, selfless, work and advocacy. Each person that attends will bring their own impactful knowledge and experience, which will help others in the group, so please feel free to show up, and share as much or as little as you feel comfortable. Let’s come together to have some hard, uncomfortable, taboo conversations, that only supporters understand. This roundtable discussion will be held at Quadrangle NL (330 Elizabeth Avenue, St. John’s, NL)  in our Second Space from 1pm-4pm. Snacks and drinks will be provided.  


Meet Jenna Slaney (she/her), a fat, femme, queer, woman who is a fierce advocate,  feminist, and harm reduction enthusiast. Jenna works as the Volunteer Coordinator at End Sexual Violence NL, and is responsible for the volunteer program and the 24-hour support, information and crisis line available for folks province wide who are impacted by sexual violence. She talks great pride in her work and recognizes the importance of prioritizing the wellness and support for supporters. She has completed studies in Community Leadership and Therapeutic Recreation, and has extensive professional experience working in community outreach, transitional housing, program development, volunteer support, inclusion support, and recreation. Jenna is an avid volunteer and values her involvement in the community. She is currently a board member of St. John’s Pride as the Advocacy and Inclusivity Coordinator, and is intentional about using her privilege to speak up for her most vulnerable community members and ensuring marginalized voices are elevated and heard. Jenna also resides on two community boards, Fat Babes of NL and Saltwater Gems Burlesque, and takes pride in her direct connections within the community. Jenna’s most recent venture has been becoming an ASIST trainer and hopes to continue offering accessible workshops for professionals and the public to create a suicide safe(r) community.

Nurturing safe workplaces through decent work - Erin Kang
May
12
1:00 PM13:00

Nurturing safe workplaces through decent work - Erin Kang

Nurturing safe workplaces through decent work is a workshop and roundtable discussion hosted by Erin Kang of the Ontario NonProfit Network. This roundtable discussion will be held at Quadrangle NL (330 Elizabeth Avenue, St. John’s, NL)  in our Second Space from 1pm-4pm. Snacks and drinks will be provided.  

In these tumultuous and shifting times, it's important to create environments where people can be well and thrive in their workplaces; people can't do good work if they're unwell and unsupported! Trends like deep polarization, high turnover, and burnout prompt us to steward sustainable and supportive practices that are grounded in deep equity and the understanding that nonprofits are not immune to the forces of white supremacy and colonialism. It's imperative to be intentional about not replicating the harmful systems we're looking to dismantle, within our own organizations and sector. This roundtable will introduce topics and resources rooted in a decent work framework, particularly from ONN's Decent Work Pathways. It will mix light presentation with group conversation to invite reflection and meaningful commitments to integrating decent work practices in our workplaces.
Erin Kang (they/she) is a facilitator, storyteller, and dreamer living in Tkaronto. Throughout their career, Erin has been examining the relationship between people, place, and power through her studies, profession, and creative projects. They are currently the Director of Network Engagement at Ontario Nonprofit Network. As a convener and creative at heart, Erin thrives in spaces of community-building and mutuality.  
We have 20 spaces available for this workshop, so please register before May 8th, 2025. Multiple members from organizations are welcome!

*Please note: We will only reach out to you if you do not secure a spot.*
