In the spring of 2023, Girl Guides of Canada hosted an Embers Story contest, and the new Ember story was inspired and co-created by the winner of the contest: Nora, an Ember in Manitoba. Nora worked with Canadian children’s author Ashley Spires and the programs team at Girl Guides to create a story that is truly for girls and by girls. Later in August, I was hired to create an animation for the social media campaign, introducing Nora's story.
