Cultural identity is a sense of belonging to a group based on numerous cultural categories, not just nationality or gender. Sam Thiara is a British-born Canadian.

Misfit Wisdom with Danielle O’Neill Danielle A free-spirited misfit, abstract artist, critical thinker and occasional writer who, like Fran Liebowitz, seems to have perpetual writer’s block, I talk about creativity and sometimes mental health, particularly my experience living with anxiety, the sense of urgency that pervades our crazy culture, the pressure to “fit in,” and recovery from self-sabotaging behaviors. As someone who has kept silent about my opinions for a long time, I speak my mind without apologies here. I'll also explore how we use creativity to express ourselves, learn about who we are and ultimately, to spread joy.  Trigger warnings: potential discussion of various mental health issues at times. I’m not a professional - just someone living, learning, and speaking with as much honesty as possible. My opinions are my own and are subject to change at any time as I grow and learn as a person. ☺️
