Viola Desmond boardroom

These photos were taken at the unveiling of a Viola Desmond boardroom exhibit that I was honoured to design for the Department of Justice. This little exhibit is focused on telling the Viola Desmond story from the legal perspective.

It was a emotionally impactful day with the highlight being the opportunity to meet Wanda Robson, Viola Desmond’s sister. She was the driving force behind Viola being pardoned and continues to be a passionate human rights speaker and educator.

Wanda really does light up a room and is one of the most positive and forward thinking people I have ever had the honour to meet. Her heart felt positive response to the exhibit reminded me why I enjoy helping people tell their stories.
