Intro to Mikayla

ByMikayla Milne 2015 / 07 / 16

Hey, I’m new!

To like, everything here, but I’ve been working through different youth groups that are a part of VSAC for some time, so I know some of the billion things there are to know.

My name is Mikayla, I am an actual employee here, at VSAC, I’m a Youth Community Developer. I am 16, grade 12 (yes, I am excited to graduate), I am a Euro-Canadian/American settler living on the unceded territories of the Songhees people. in the past 4ish years I have participated through Project Respect, Rhizome Youth in Action, as both a participant and facilitator. I have helped facilitate one of the Shift Programs at Bayside Middle School, co- facilitated numerous Top Left projects events and camps here and gone to Ontario thrice for conferences.

At home I have my love of my life, my two kitties and stink dog. Also my family lives there.

But besides that, I love to write and talk in public (I know it’s kinda weird), I love laughing at horoscopes, and eat at weird buffets. I’m excited to be here, and probably will never leave.

Swimming

ByDraco Recalma 2015 / 08 / 04

This blog post was graciously shared with Project Respect and written by the most fabulous Jasper Malchuk Rasmussen, who was last year’s youth employee at PR. Today I went swimming for the first time since I started have the gender feels. It was a free outdoor pool (woah!), and as I was slightly drowning my…

All About Your “Beach Bod”

ByMikayla Milne 2015 / 07 / 20

In the hotter months, I like to go to the beach. Not because I’m a strong swimmer (in fact I am a terrible swimmer), but when I do try to go swimming, it can be very uncomfortable. Peeling off my layers of protective clothing, clothing that makes my legs look the way I want, forever…
