I am SO SO HONOURED to announce that I am joining the fabulous people at @drinklibra as their new Balance Ambassador! Libra is on a mission to help us find balance by making our social life a healthy one! Not drinking alcohol for the past 3 years has done so much good for my life. I still love to be out with my friends and Libra allows me to be social and still get up the next day feeling good. PLUS the beer tastes SO GOOD. As part of our new partnership, Libra will be donating a percentage of sales to @welcometoarthaus to help us continue empowering and uplifting our creative community. I am super excited for this journey together 🍻

When I first started planning the Used To You video these two ladies were at the top of my list. @marilyndenis – the hardest working woman in showbiz! Your energy and positivity give me LIFE! I can’t wait to chat more about this video with you soon. @natvanlis – the way you move is magic, not just in this video but in all you do. Your friendship is cherished, your leadership is inspiring, and your grace knows no end. Thank you both for sharing pieces of yourselves with me #usedtoyou #serenaryder #shawnhook
Some people say “you’ve changed” like it’s a bad thing. I’m grateful for change, it means I’m learning and growing. Used To You is a celebration of our ever-changing selves and relationships. It is an ode to living in the mystery. To not ever knowing and loving the journey of discovery that that allows. Let’s get to know who the ones we love are NOW…not just the memories we have of who they used to be. This is truly one of the most 🔥 songs and most fun music videos I’ve ever done. Gigantic gratitude for the best writing and production team of liiiife @spidermelk @tawgs @gordiesampson the best collaborator/DP director of liiiife @camroden assisted by the awesome @echo_cyp and the amazing group dance moves created by the most talented and wonderful @carolinetorti. And of course my dear friend @shawnhook who took this track to another level!!!!! All Shawn’s awesome shots were done by @mregilroy – you guys Rock! I hope this video brings a smile to your face the way it does to my heart! Stream and watch now via the link in my bio 🏄♀️🎯🏄♀️ #usedtoyou #serenaryder #shawnhook

Repost • @ishkoderecords The month of June has become a time for celebrating the beauty and resilience of Indigenous cultures and communities. For months we had been planning to celebrate the launch of Ishkode Records on June 24th. But June 24th was not a day for celebrating. We needed to stop, hold our plans and join Indigenous people across Turtle Island in solemn respect for our lost children and our grieving families. We are truly excited to do the work, amplify new music in the world and share important stories. But the first order of business for Ishkode Records needs to be this… #CallToAction: Many have called for this July 1st to be different: cancelled, quieted, renamed, reimagined. We are feeling this too and we also see the necessity for a deep and seismic change. We need a #FullStop. Canadians cannot continue as normal and turn away from these truths. We will not be celebrating Canada on July 1st. Instead, we are holding our communities and families close. We are taking time for ceremony and care. We are processing our grief and honouring our survivors and those who were never returned home. Murray Sinclair once said we must “…understand [the] truth of Canada’s Indigenous history if we truly want to move forward.” Our teachings speak about the seven generations and how every action or inaction we take right now impacts seven generations in the future. What future will we dream for those yet to come? We are calling on our friends, partners, allies and accomplices in the music industry to join us, and others, on July 1st, to take pause to reflect, honour, respect and remember all that we have lost and the incredible strength, brilliance and grace that remains. It is easy to fall into silence and inertia. This is a time for action, listening, compassion, and learning. We ask you to make space for Indigenous voices. Make space for change. There needs to be a #NewPathForward #HonourTheTruth This July 1st, stand with us in solidarity. Demonstrate your support by sharing one or all three of these orange squares, and amplify Indigenous voices.
Working with @shawnhook on this track has been SO MUCH FUN. Shawn – your voice and energy bring a new life to this song and I can’t wait to see what the future has in store for us! THANK YOU @karalynnewark for creating this gorgeous artwork and for being an all around badass artist and collaborator for this whole project. And THANK YOU ALL for streaming, watching and commenting. Your messages mean the 🌎 to me! #usedtoyou #serenaryder #shawnhook
