Meet the face
behind the posts.
Hi! I’m Ezra (any pronouns) and if you clicked on this page you are probably looking to learn more about the person behind this website.
​
Well, I’m an aspiring storyteller who graduated from the Journalism and Communications program at Holland College, Epekwitk (PEI), in 2024.
And why this program? Because I’m very passionate about communicating and telling the stories that have gone unheard.
​
Ever since I was young, I’ve had a creative and imaginative mind. With a visual brain, I’ve always loved the arts and hope to merge all those passions into the career of my dreams!
