In the process of writing 'Whitefeather lights the air: World, Universe and a Dream'
I am pursuing the pageant of Miss Universe Canada 2011 and the winner of this pageant is selected for the internationally recognized Miss Universe pageant. In this endeavor I am creating a film to inspire appreciation of cultural diversity and I am also in the midst of writing a book called 'The World, Universe and a Dream'.
====================================================================================
A Reflection
====================================================================================
Since being introduced to pageantry I have learned a greater sense of what it means to be a part of this opportunity. It brings motivated and passionate young women together to share in an experience that offers inspiration for working hard at being your best self while being able to positively influence the world around you. It is also an opportunity that can open doors.
Pageantry is an event that brings young aspiring, motivated women together to accomplish common goals of being a part of something that allows you to give to communities, build on dreams and represent oneself as a business woman, with ethics, talents and a caring personality. What people may not realize, is that pageantry gives these women an opportunity to gain valuable experience that contributes to a passionate and purposeful outlook on life.
Through just being a part of the pageant, the contestants feel inspired to better themselves and dream big, with an increased excitability and motivation to achieve success.
Like an athlete trains for a worldly event, pageant contestants train to be the best they can be, learning how to speak eloquently and represent themselves and the organization with a strong presence as a diplomatic representative. Taking on the experience to the fullest of her ability, a motivated pageant contestant makes every effort to take care of themselves, including health and fitness, personal beauty and feeling good both inside and radiating outwards; pageant contestants train in every manner that makes a person the best they can be. All of the training, efforts and achievements of a strong delegate helps prepare themself to be a rolemodel of inspiration to young girls and pageant followers who can share in the journey of excitement for the contestants and the lucky girl who is crowned.
This girls life is changed forever, and most definitely in the year to come; for she takes on the responsibilities of traveling to events, speaking at functions, and inspiring within schools around the country. Miss Universe Canada also gets to attend the worldly, universal pageant of Miss Universe with the hope of being able to take on the responsibilities of traveling the world and working with charities and inspirational opportunities around the globe.
========
My DREAM
========
To share some background of how I got to where I am today:
Before my filmmaking and creative aspirations I was attending university for psychology in which I also did minors in religion culture and English. This was a time of being challenged to grow as an individual while being inspired to question who I was and what the world was all about.
It was during this time of my life that one day I vividly remember sitting down and writing thoughts about what I could do that would really allow me to use my strengths and talents. Through the various ideas I wrote down, the main point I discovered was that I wanted to be something that would allow me to share what I was coming to understand about the world and our shared journey as well as what I have continued to learn about my own personal journey of growth and challenges in becoming who I want to be.
--------------------------
In 2007 I got inspired to start filmmaking because I had a vision of putting film to music. I became very passionate about this endeavor from realizing how powerful it could be to share a message through film. As soon as I had this experience, I went to my old high school to start using their computers and facilities because I recognized it as a valuable resource that would allow me to start being creative and exploring my newfound passion.
I began by making posters of ideas which allowed me to explore my stories, and it was here that I first used a video camera and made a video. Then I took myself a little more into the world, by attending events in Toronto, Ontario while traveling to festivals and filming my experiences. From the footage I made a series of independent creative films that share experiential stories from what I learned from each experience.

************************************************************************8
Today I am thrilled to be pursuing the pageant of Miss Universe/Canada while working with a vision of using this platform to its full potential. Representing Miss Universe will truly provide an ability to reach and inspire the learning’s that I have discovered about the 'World, Universe and what it means to have a Dream.’********************************************************************************88
To share a bit more about who I am
For the past few years I have used inspiration and knowledge from my education in Psychology and Cultural studies, as well as my creative filmmaking talents to capture community and worldly events. Since the beginning of these interests it has been my vision to make films that inspire celebration of culture and heritage. It is my passion to inspire appreciation for our multicultural world.
After filming my life travels for a few years, in 2009, I decided to follow one of my ideas -and that was to embrace an opportunity that would allow me to reach the world. I wanted to make a film about traveling across our multicultural nation – while exploring stories that I would find as Vancouver welcomed the world in 2010. I found many stories and inspired ideas that will be with me for a lifetime career of filmmaking and creative pursuits.
Vision, Purpose and Passion: preparing for our ability to reach the world
I have filmed my life travels over the past 3 years, starting in 2007.
In 2008 I explored and filmed stories of cultural heritage while in Athens Greece.
In 2009 I moved to Vancouver, where I filmed the atmosphere of a city that prepared itself to welcome the world. This included filming cultural Olympiad events, torch ceremonies and stories of inspiration and cultural diversity. One of my favourite interviews was with someone who discussed the passion of the human spirit. While being here I encountered the opportunity of Miss Vancouver and Miss BC 2009, and following these experiences I was introduced to the Miss Universe Canada pageant.
As I prepare for the pageant
I am dedicating my efforts to creating an organization called ‘Whitefeather’. The vision of Whitefeather is a program within schools and communities that gives students a motivating environment to be creative while inspiring them to explore themselves and their communities, culture and heritage. I believe that offering these opportunities will inspire those involved to develop and discover their own capabilities, talents, dreams and visions.

I have been filming the coming of the Olympics for months and today we were in Victoria, BC where we welcomed the spirit of the flame : a time to reflect on the essence of what spirit is.
Through reflecting on the spirit of the flame, we can remember the cultural heritage from where the torch passes through.
Connecting the 'spirit of the flame' by filming the culture and heritage of these locations can allow a sense of celebrating our multicultural world
each story, and journey of the flame contributes to the 'multicultural world we live in.
It is my vision to capture the essence of these histories and cultural stories.
Through arts, sports, legends, fairy-tales, language, philosophy...
it is my passion to share these journeys through artistic videos that can inspire understanding, valued appreciation and creative interest for our lives and the historic world we live in.
=====
in my own journey's experience i am building on the work i have been collecting over the past few years and my visions and dreams continue to expand.....
i love dreaming big into what i love to create and accomplish.
With my film work, in one avenue, it is about sharing what i come to understand through exploring travels and community-culture experiences.
I also value the ability to maintain a blogging site and it is my aim to build a website with videos that have artistic expression so I can share cultural awareness in a creative way.
I most definately love the process of creating music. The writing, the melody, the creative nature of coming up with something poetic and inspirational/with the purpose of having music for video flow as well as |***to be a performer/speaker on stag...
(i look forward to acting classes in the future) :)
and today,
staying healthy, living a balanced lifestyle, making time for creativity, living with enjoyment of life on all levels,...in a peaceful, harmonious way.
------------------------------
(creating art space, lots of tennis/dancing freely, sharing quality time and inspiration/creating performance works and loving the journey, in flow of allways creating, & flowing with destination in mind, yet open to where i am lead to
-------- As I journey on, into a year where it appears I am going to train for MissUniverseBecoming, I will be living and creating an experience of Miss Celebrate Diversity.
I have been writing along through the years....and now I am at a point of bringing it together. My vision for writing a book & creating art, that 'is the life i am living', swims in the story of
"The World, Universe and A Dream"
-many stories, among our One Shared Story'

The world, Universe and A Dream
This title was born out of the realization that I have a book that I want to create/write.
This book is a conglomeration of my life and journey,
and it is fulfilled with awareness of the world and writings that aim to inspire a life of passion.
The book is fueled by experiences I have gained through travels and education, as well as the exciting journey I have experienced through living my life in pursuit of dreams
Be inspired and empowered.

Universal Dream
Reflection
Waiting a year to do the pageant really challenged me to grow as a person and see a bigger picture.
In 2009-2010, as much as I felt ready to embrace Miss Universe Canada, I was challenged to take a year to really prepare myself and my work. In the process of taking a year to prepare, I discovered a space in my life to grow on many levels, bringing me to compete in 2011 from a strong place where I continually aspire and ready myself for taking on the roles and responsibilities of Miss Universe/Canada.
In the process of seeing the bigger picture I discovered:on the journey of dreams, you have waves to ride
be the wave
listen to, feel out and trust in a way of things
and enjoy the ride
====
october 2009
here we are,... on a journey of dreams
allowing 'a way' of things working out...
is the only way...
you have to trust in the peacefulness
of being centered

I trust the journey.
I allow all to be as is best for my journey.
I take action towards that which is important to me

Reborn: into a Universal Dream
Oct. 26, 2009
So,
it has been a very interesting week, there were a few 'downs', as I sorted through some 'big' decisions in my life, and upcoming opportunities.
Regarding the MissUniverse Canada pageant, I have been debating whether to wait a year,...to settle into the city, have a sense of solidarity as I work on writing, and videos...organizing of photography, and really getting centered as a whole.
At the same time, I have been pumped getting ready, anticipating the pageant; ready to embrace the ability to speak to the world...and have opportunities to get into much of what I am passionate about.....
