What a journey it’s been. Even if BSC won’t be continuing on screen, this is a group of people that will remain family off of it. The amount of love, respect and gratitude I have for this show and everyone who’s been a part of it, and supported us, is mind boggling.
To Walden Media, Netflix, Lucy, Naia, Lucia, Rachel, Mr De Luca, Amber, Danielle and Leigh Anne-thank you for taking a chance on the 12 year old girl with a mouth of medal, who wouldn’t BELIEVE where she’d be at in 3 years. Thank you to the incredible crew of both seasons who made our work place as magical as it was, and to Ellen and Cynthia who made sure our clothes reflected how much fun we were having.
To Anne M Martin, I admire you in so many ways. Thank you for creating this world of Stoneybrook and for making kids everywhere, regardless of gender, age or race, feel like we’re a part of the club. You have given us these girls as life-long friends, and for that I am eternally grateful.
To Mary Anne, MA, four eyes etc. I think you’ll always be a part of me. You’ve helped shape who I am today. I couldn’t imagine going through middle school times without you. Thank you for standing up not only for yourself, but for others too, I know so many people have watched you grow into who you are today and thank you for it. You are a role model to so many – myself included. I wonder where you’ll be in a few years, but know however you live on you’ll always be in my heart as the person I can count on.
To the girls 🙂 we did it!! To Mo, Shay, Xoch, Viv, Anais, Soph and Kyndra-I will never be able to put into words how much you’ve meant to me. I look up to you all, and wherever we go I know the club is cheering us on from the sidelines.
This is Mary Anne, Secretary of the Baby-Sitters Club signing out :,)

So honoured to be a part of this special project and to be in the company of such incredible people both in front, and behind, the camera. I was drawn to this project instantly by its impactful story and its messaging about the opioid crisis. Cannot wait for you all to see it 🕷

Since first meeting Kai on set of The Baby-Sitters Club, she and her family have grown near and dear to my heart. I am 100% #teamKai – are you?
As @thedarcymichael says, “Pride is a protest and now more than ever, we have to protest.” For Kai…and so many more. We have to be louder than they [the haters] are.
A reminder that being an ally is a verb. Choose something you can do – can you post to socials, can you write and call governors, can you contribute to a go fund me (or ask others to), can you do these all of these and more?

Today is the National Day of Awareness for Missing Murdered Indigenous Women Girls (MMIWG), but often most known by its symbol: a red dress.
#RedDressDay began in 2010 as an art installation by Métis artist Jaime Black, titled The REDress Project, which highlights the epidemic of violence against Indigenous women, girls 2Spirit folks.
They are someone’s child. They are someone’s friend. They are SOMEONE.
The day can be triggering for those affected by MMWIG2S loss — if so, you can connect with the MMWIG2S support call line at 1-844-413-6649. This line is available free of charge, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Indigenous people represent the fastest growing population in Canada, as well as the youngest—we need to protect ALL of our community members ensure this is a safe, vibrant community for everyone. Thank you to the @assemblyoffirstnations, @statcan_eng The National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls for compiling this data making it accessible.

The list would be long for all of the titles and achievements this group of people has garnered over their respective lives, but what stands out most to me is just WOW – what incredible humans! I am just so inspired by them, so I want to share who they are with you too ✨
Tareq Hadhad @tareqhadhad
A human who inspires so many through his personal journey in life. Tareq’s family had been in the chocolate business for over 20 years in Syria before being forced to flee as refugees due to the country’s civil war. Upon re-establishing life in Nova Scotia, Tareq founded @peacebychocolate, supporting peace projects in Syria and beyond. Also the most delicious chocolate I have ever tasted!
Christian Allaire @chrisjallaire
An Indigineous (Ojibwe) fashion and style writer for @voguemagazine author of “The Power of Style: How Fashion and Beauty Are Being Used To Reclaim Cultures.” I think the title of his book speaks to the intention of what he puts out in this world and why I am personally so inspired by how he is choosing to show up in this world! As a Botswana-born Canadian I am inspired to hold onto my roots and advocate for my people. Thank you Christian!
Mark Tewkesbury @marktewks
A three time Olympic champion, multiple hall of famer, an author, a dedicated humanitarian and activist. The list could go on! Mark has been so influential in his advocacy and support of the LGBTQQ2SIAP community, particularly within sports, and has continued to use his platform to uplift and inspire others. Let me tell you, his energy is contagious and I felt so respected as an equal next to such a giant ♥️
Dr.Suzanne Simard @drsuzannesimard
A professor of forest ecology @universityofbc and author of “Finding the Mother Tree: Discovering the Wisdom of the Forest.” I loved learning about Suzanne’s work and all that she is doing to make right by our environment across this planet! I also loved what she had to say as she advocated for the book she was championing, “There is no justice without environmental justice. The plundering of the land is the plundering of the people.” Let us all remember that as we walk forward together 🌎
#canadareads #amazinghumans
It’s almost the end of #WomensHistoryMonth, but inspiring young changemakers continue to make history EVERY day! #GenerationGirlUp
@girlupcampaign alumni Maryam & Nivaal began their fight for girls’ rights in Grade 9 when they started a Girl Up Club at their school. Now, the twin activists are running their own nonprofit @theworldwithmnr and advocating to make gender equality a policy priority globally. 🌎 🙌
“We believe that there is still a long way to go to make girls #EqualEverywhere, particularly in policy spaces to ensure that girls have equal opportunities to pursue their goals and dreams.” 🌟
Which areas are YOU fighting in for girls & women to be #EqualEverywhere?
