Sitting in a Green Room

Sitting in a Green Room is a strange experience. Everyone is waiting to see something to the media. Next to me is a woman who, I gather, wrote a book and who careful avoids even noticing my existence. I gather she is a celebrity (I later learn who she is and she is a celebrity).

I'm here to sell a project between the Canadian Somali Congress and the Canadian Jewish Congress -- a mentoring project for young Somali students and professionals. It's a good project but what's strange is pitching it amongst books, fashion and how to set up a new apartment.

Well, we're all salespeople.
