I was extremely honoured to be covered by the Toronto Star recently. The journalistic team who worked with us was so thorough and enthusiastic and I am delighted with the article. I was also recently interviewed on Newstalk 1010 and you can stream that short interview here. A big thank you to Craig Renaud, Christian Cameron and Keight MacLean for participating in the process with me! Craig has been running the blanket coat project with support from our reenacting organization Hoplologia and we are still taking donations if you want to help support clothing the unhoused in Toronto.
The coverage and interest mostly comes from my online video content which I have been making for the last year and a half, primarily for Tiktok, under the tag @captainswordface but if you follow my Instagram @handmaderevolution_to you will have seen some of it in my reels as well.
Since I know TikTok isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, I am working on getting a lot of that content up on my youtube channel, where I hope to expand into longer videos over the next little while. Making video content is definitely a lot of work but I’ve come to enjoy it and I look forward to seeing where I can take it in the future! If you have ideas for long form content that you’d like to see on my Youtube I’d love to hear them! Please subscribe to my channel if you can, since that will help me get closer to potential monetization in the future.
As always, a big thank you for your ongoing support and I hope to bring you lots more pretty things and fun content in the coming months!
