Ici Radio Canada, CBC interview http://ici.radio-canada.ca/widgets/mediaconsole/medianet/7618087 It seems like million years ago since our last fashion show at the Atlantic fashion week in 2016 when this photo was taken (above). The winter 2016 collection was called "Ode to Nova Scotia," RESPECT NATURE by keikaikoadesigns.com It only feels like that because we were going through some upheaval in our personal lives. This year for 2018 we are calling our collection "RESPECT" this will be about respecting each other as human beings. That no matter what may be the color of your skin, sexual orientation, who you worship and what your gender is, this demands respect, compassion, and understanding.

A few years after this photo is now my daughter attending a different school in the new institution we call junior high. My husband and I are away for our trip to celebrate our 19 years of being together as a couple.
