Hi! I'm Sharon,
Founder & Chief Fan Grrl
Comic Geek * Academic * Cosplayer * BTS ARMY
Former Health Minister - Manitoba
I believe in using my experience, and my own Superpowers,
for good: to improve our collective mental health!
My passion, education, insight, and love of the Marvel & BTS Universes come together in relatable mental health content to inspire and empower!
My lifetime love of X-Men & Avengers shaped my reframing of mental health conditions as Superpowers, originally done to help myself and my sons.
Embrace Your Superpowers is an assets-based approach to life with mental health diagnosis.
The music and lived experience of Bangtan Sonyeondan
(BTS - Bulletproof Boy Scouts - 방탄 소년단) have more recently inspired new mental health tools and messages.
Bulletproof To Stigma helps us better understand ourselves, and others, so that we can live passionately, productively and positively!
My life experiences include my own diagnoses, being a single mom on social assistance, surviving cancer, domestic violence, and suicide. I also had the responsibility of a
$6 billion health department budget - no stress there!
I'm a published author, entrepreneur, and public speaker, who can be found cosplaying Domino, Nick Fury, and Peggy Carter, except when out with the Winnipeg Ghostbusters, then ask for Pink Holtzmann!
