KEYNOTE SPEAKER
Anna Maria Tremonti is a long-time journalist who has traveled Canada and the world covering societal change, political upheaval, and armed conflict. She was the founding host of CBC Radio’s flagship current affairs program The Current for 17 years before shifting into podcasting, first with “More” (CBC, early 2020) and then “Welcome to Paradise”, released earlier this year.
“Welcome To Paradise” explores her own story of intimate partner violence and the long-term consequences of such abuse. It is a story that has resonated with a wide audience – climbing to the top of the Apple Podcast charts, generating hundreds of letters from others who have also experienced abuse, and signaling the ongoing need for candid conversations around a topic that affects so much of our society.
