Hello. I’m Julia Gray.
I’m a writer, educator, and artist. I help people develop their writing and communication capacities to connect authentically and with ease.
I support human-centred professionals and entrepreneurs to:
- Strengthen their writing to powerfully connect with people
- Grow connected workplaces where people love to be
- Build effective collaboration with their teams
- Integrate creativity and humanity into both professional and personal life
If you are looking to centre humanity and positive change as part of your success, you’ve found the right place.
Want my street cred? Here are a few examples of projects I’ve been lucky enough to work on:
- Developed opportunities for a wide range of dementia care partners and stakeholders to re-think ‘dementia as tragic’ as part of reducing dementia stigma, including changing practices and policy. Aspects of the project included developing a theatre production, a film, workshops, as well as publishing and presenting to engage different types of people (a joint University of Waterloo-Toronto Rehabilitation project)
- Conducted research about racism, access and belonging for Black students in physiotherapy training programs in Canada (University of Toronto).
- Conducted research and led conversations about the value of the arts, recreation and cultural practices in hospital settings, including events, publications and presentations (Holland Bloorview Kids Rehab Hospital).
- Developed a theoretical framework for performance based research called an aesthetic of relationality, that helps to re-think what gets valued as knowledge and the processes to produce that knowledge (University of Toronto).
