February 6h, 2015. New AUTHOR Brenda Portwood has her web-site up and running. We were delighted to work with Brenda editing her book "I Can't Hear the Birds Anymore." CONGRATULATIONS!
It is a honest, fast-paced and high impact book about child sexual abuse, and its long lasting aftermath. When we read it we actually cried (a few times).The gripping true life story shows, clearly, how to recognize abuse; what surviving looks like from the inside out; and why survivors often continue to act in ways that seem completely inexplicable to outsiders. A compelling, heartbreaking, hopeful and page turning must read for anyone that works near children, counselors, parents, friends and survivors. Our understanding of this complex topic multiplied many times over by reading "I Can't Hear the Birds Anymore"

2014 COMMUNITAS AWARDS: Leaping Cowgirl Productions:
"Absolute Favourite Fan Youth TV Show" - Company Sponsored Volunteer Project
Five years ago something inside Coralie Braum snapped. She was on a shopping trip with her eight-year-old granddaughter when she saw something unexpected: push-up bras in the little girls’ section of a department store.
Feeling that over-sexualized and negative media images are greatly responsible for the pressure young people feel to look a certain way, Braum vowed to do something about the issue. And she did. Braum created Leaping Cowgirl Productions “to create positive and uplifting stories” and mentor youths to do the same.
Eventually this mission led Braum and her team to create the Absolute Favourite Fan project, a half-hour TV drama completely created, written and performed by Unshackled, a multicultural performing arts youth group in Calgary, Alberta. The show’s purpose had two main goals: help teens present positive images to their peers and teach youths what a motivated group can achieve.
To make the show a success, Leaping Cowgirl Productions donated staff time and thousands of dollars to the project. Besides mentoring the teens, the company secured other funding for the production and secured airtime for the show to play for six months on the Telus Optik network with more than 700,000 subscribers.
