Oh Canada- this one’s for you
Posted by Lee-Anne Ragan | Filed under Diversity & culture, Humor & comedy
Even though I’m about as far away as you can get from Canada, without leaving the planet, my heart lives in Canada. Thinking about home. Thinking about how the concept of home has changed since I’ve been living in Kenya. Thinking about what others think about my home. Thinking about culture. Oh Canada, this one’s […]

Our perspective is framed by our cultures, including our gender, age, socio-economic background, sexual orientation, religious/spiritual beliefs, where we live (urban/rural), where […]

Posted by Lee-Anne Ragan | Filed under Diversity & culture
The strangest coincidences happen when you’re far, far from home. Like when I was on safari recently in Kenya and met THE Charlie of Charlie’s Chocolate Factory.
