Y WE TRAVEL

In this new series, accomplished writers delve into the deeper meaning of our journeys—beyond where and how, to the fundamental question of why. Presented by Toronto Pearson Airport, the Canadian Airports Council, and The Walrus Lab.

In this episode, host Nathan Whitlock is joined by Amy Stuart, author of four bestselling novels, including 2024’s Home and Away—a memoir she co-wrote with former Toronto Maple Leafs captain Mats Sundin. They talk about the very out-of-character way she landed the job of co-writing the Mats Sundin book, about the new-found attention it has brought her when she coaches hockey, and about the impact it has had on the way she thinks about her career as a thriller writer.


Recorded live, the final episode features Timothy Taylor in conversation about family history, storytelling, and the making of the series. He is joined by Holocaust survivor Mariette Doduck, filmmaker Ecuadorian-Jewish filmmaker David Bercovici-Artieda, and his sister Shelagh Genuis. Together, they explore the personal and historical significance of their stories and what they reveal about memory and legacy. Later, Timothy and showrunner Anthony Cantor offer behind-the-scenes insights into the creative process before opening the floor to audience questions.

Many companies champion mentorship programs and leadership initiatives that promise to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion. But too often, these efforts fall short of meaningfully supporting their racialized women employees. Golnaz Golnaraghi, founder of Accelerate Her Future, a career accelerator for Black, Indigenous, and racialized women in business and STEM, emphasizes the value of investing in sponsorship over mentorship and redefining what it means to be an ally in the workplace. Golnaz spoke at The Walrus Talks Advancing Work, in Toronto, on November 29, 2022.
