[Wamvan] Hello!

[Heather Stoutenburg]

Hi Jessica!

I was also recently added to the list and asked to introduce myself.  
I'm Heather!

I'm a writer in digital media, currently collaborating with the BC  
film & television industries. I work with a variety of local producers  
as well as national organizations like the CBC and NFB to tell stories  
online. I have a background in digital & traditional advertising.

I've been in Vancouver for 2.5 years, and had the opportunity to  
volunteer with a few great organizations. Currently, I sit on the  
board for Leave Out Violence (LOVE) BC which teaches anti-oppressive  
tactics and leadership skills  to youth who've been affected by  
violence -- largely through media arts. I occasionally do  
communications work for a youth-driven organization who works with Hep  
C and HIV+ youth, and I've been involved in advocacy around Insite, as  
well as through a sex-worker led grassroots organization in the DTES.

I am also involved in pro-choice activism -- currently through NAF and  
previously through various sexual health programs in my old home town  
of Calgary. Most recently we fundraised, purchased and created a full- 
page ad in the Globe & Mail commemorating the Morgentaaler decision.  
Booya.

Annnyway, that's all I've got. I've loved the conversation I've seen  
on this list so far and look forward to contributing. If anyone ever  
needs to get in touch for any reason, please don't hesitate to reach  
out.
