Hi, I’m Aimee. I’m a writer, journalist, arts facilitator, and the creative director of the Unruly Writers Club.

I believe in the power of bringing diverse perspectives into conversation.

I love the rush of live radio and events.

Accessibility is at the heart of everything I do.

Hosting

Moderating

I host CBC Montreal’s Community Column (on leave), where I bring stories of people connecting to television and radio.

I also moderate live events and broadcasts such as The Walrus Talks Inclusion and the PostScript panel on disability literature.

 

Producing

I pair the right voices with new audiences.

I co-produced the digital event Poetry for the Moment, a reading and in-depth conversation on current affairs. It won gold at the Canadian Online Publishing Awards.

Arts Facilitating

To address the gap between outlets seeking diverse voices and spaces for emerging writers to hone their craft, I began hosting writing workshops like the Our Futures workshops at ELAN.

Building on this, I launched the Unruly Writers Club with Metonymy Press to support the creative work of disabled queer and trans writers on an ongoing basis.
