Lianne Castelino of Where Parents Talk speaks to Perdita Felicien, World Champion, 2-time Olympian, mom, broadcaster and author about her new book, 'My Mother's Daughter', which tells the story of the struggle, poverty, homelessness and triumph that characterized the life journey of Felicien's mother, Cathy Browne.
For the past 10 years, there have been no clinical trials for people living with ALS in BC. That's about to change through a new joint initiative from the ALS Society of BC, UBC and the Ministry of Health. Our columnist Cathy Browne tells us more.
CBC investigates call for new rules on ATVs following hundreds of deaths; Eli Glasner reviews Zak Snyder's new zombie flick; Cathy Browne tells us about the lack of clinical trials for people living with ALS in B.C.; A pitch to now mow your lawn in May; Art exhibit focuses on the personality of cows; Calls for permanent homeless camp in Prince George; British woman hoping to honour uncle buried in unmarked grave in Quesnel after serving in WWII; B.C.'s plan to re-open after the long weekend; Bon Jovi at the drive-in theatre.
An Olympic misstep might be how the public defines a career, but it hardly defines a high-performance athlete’s life. When Perdita Felicien crashed into the first hurdle in the 100-metre final at the 2004 Summer Games in Athens, all the reigning world champion from Canada could do was watch the race play out on a video screen high above the track. Though her dreams were dashed, she would stand proud and tall again — it was in her DNA. In My Mother’s Daughter: A Memoir of Struggle and Triumph (Doubleday), Felicien fastidiously constructs a poignant narrative that extends far beyond sport. By bringing her mother Cathy Browne’s tale of leaving St. Lucia to resettle in Canada to light, we can better understand the contemporary Canadian experience.

Cathy Browne wears many hats: She does PR, she's a photographer, she's an activist and advocate, she does stand-up comedy and improv, and she teaches photography to elementary school kids. And she happens to be legally blind.

Plus we talk about some of the issues Vancouver's disabled residents face, and what teaching has taught Cathy about her art and herself.
