Memekwe Apetawakeesic-Morisseau/Tikinagan Child and Family Services
An aspiring teen artist from North Caribou Lake has created the winning image for Tikinagan Child and Family Service’s “Red Alert! Bullying Hurts!” campaign.
14 year old Memekwe Apetawakeesic-Morisseau explains she reflected on one of her worst bullying experiences, as inspiration for the drawing.
“I was 3 or 4 and I was getting off the bus at Fort Albany, so I was walking down the road since they just dropped me off and these 3 girls came up to me and they said they’ll cut me. Then they pushed me on the ground, so that’s where the big towering figures came from.”
