Geneviève Everell announces big news

Miss Sushi à la maison, or Geneviève Everell as she is known, has been sharing her passion for food with you for several years now. After winning the hearts of her subscribers with her delicious recipes, the accomplished entrepreneur shared some sad news almost a year ago: she had breast cancer.

As the months went by, Geneviève opened up to her subscribers at every stage of her journey. With transparency, vulnerability and kindness, she gave an account of her battle. You were able to see her on her best days, as well as her most difficult, when she was weakened by the ordeal that was taking her over.

However, in her most recent Dear Diary shared in a story on Instagram, it’s wonderful news that she announces: she no longer has cancer!

After undergoing a partial mastectomy, doctors analyzed her cells and officially told her there was no trace of cancer left.

“My operation was on August 5, but I received the pathology in mid-August, even before, like on August 12. So I’ve been keeping it a secret all this time for a lot of different reasons. First, I was in a bit of a state of shock. Secondly, I was more in the mode of waiting for someone to call and for it to be like a dream (…) I wanted to take the time to tell my friends, my family, my loved ones… and also to realize the journey I’ve been on. It was after the pathology of my operation that I was told I no longer had cancer. It’s funny because I’ve just done an interview (…) and it’s the first time I’ve said it out loud , to the public, to people, knowing full well that I was going to do my Dear Diary 57 seconds later, because I really want you to be the first to know, because it’s really you who have been there for me. It made me dizzy when I said it; it makes me dizzy right now to tell you that I’m cancer-free,” she explained, opening up about the incredible news and the effect it had on her.

She went on to explain that she was still going to undergo radiotherapy, even though the oncologist told her it wasn’t compulsory as there was no cancer at all. Geneviève wants to go ahead with it as a preventive measure, to make sure she has every chance on her side.

On another note, the cooking enthusiast announced the arrival of a forthcoming recipe book on tablets, very soon.

She also added that this weekend, in honour of the Montreal Marathon, over 150 people will be running after raising funds to contributeto the fight against breast cancer, an initiative launched by Frédérique Dufort. Thanks to this initiative, $20,000 has been raised. Wow!

We’re very happy for her, and can’t wait to see all the wonderful projects that are coming up for her!

Misogyny still rages on social networks and many denounce it

Despite constant interventions, open denunciations in stories and reports on the subject, we have to admit that many people still haven’t learned how to behave civically on the Internet. These people hide behind their screens to indulge in comments, even very violent and unrestrained insults that they wouldn’t make in person. And well-known personalities are easy victims for these trolls, who are shamelessly rampant on social networks. Women are prime targets for these trolls, who don’t hesitate to go out of their way to gratuitously belittle them.

Geneviève Pettersen gave a good example of this recently during one of her 98.5 FM programs. The author and lover of Pierre-Yves McSween shared one of the worst messages she received following a segment where she and Frédéric Labelle were discussing Montreal Mayor Valérie Plante ‘s decision to block comments on certain platforms.

Geneviève went on to read a message she had received on Facebook. She warns listeners first, and we do the same. The next few passages may shock some.

“And here I apologize, listeners, it’s very very raw and it took me two days to get over it. It’s not a joke. You’re an est* de grosse c*nne, I wish you death my dirty old t*rche. You don’t deserve anything you got. You should shut your big ugly dirty mouth. I can’t believe you give yourself the right to speak. I hope you get beaten to death, you old hag. How dare you speak when you’re such a c*nne? (…) Karma will catch up with you and I hope for the worst of the worst of the bad. I want to see you run over by a garbage truck and get beaten up a thousand times, like you say, once isn’t enough. I wish you to be v**led to death (…)”.

Her co-host then asked if she’d pressed charges, to which she replied that she’d stopped doing so, but that yes, it was indeed the type of message for which she could have gone to the police.

Here is the message in full:

Some celebrities reacted to the host’s post, like Kim Lizotte and Manal Drissi, in turn sharing their views on the violence of online comments and messages.

Kim shared Geneviève‘s audio segment, accompanied by a screenshot of a comment received under one of her videos. It reads: “Crazy nasty cr*ss! She knows f*ck all. She’s a wannabe comedian. Get out of your echo chamber est* de folle. Nobody means what you say! Ast* de folle du cal*ce”.

In support of the women who are victims of this gratuitous nastiness, she raises a simple question: But why?

“In support of all the women in the public sphere who experience it regularly. It’s normalized, trivialized, but that’s what it is. We tolerate it and we carry on. But why?” she wonders about the violence experienced on various platforms that, presumably, fail to filter assaults.

In turn, Manal Drissi raised the issue. She returned to her most recent experience on Facebook, at the unveiling of the trailer for a collaborative project with Gabrielle Lisa Collard.

The simple unveiling of her series in development provoked a wave of nasty comments on Facebook. In response to these and to Geneviève‘s post, she made a point of reminding us what it means to be a woman or a marginalized individual in the public sphere. The mayor of the Côte-des-Neige-Notre-Dame-de-Grâce borough, Gracia Kasoki Katahwa, also knows something about this.

For your information, here’s some background on what the mayor of this Montreal borough has experienced:

This is all happening here in Quebec, but misogyny is everywhere. For more information and to see the extent of the damage it causes, we invite you to watch the documentary Je vous salue salope by Léa Clermont-Dion and Guylaine Maroist.

Blink: the moving destiny of a Québécois family

National Geographic has announced a very special new documentary based on the lives of a Quebec family, Blink.

“Following a diagnosis that changed the course of their lives, the Pelletier family embarks on a breathtaking journey to see the world through new eyes. National Geographic captures their race against time on a journey filled with love, discovery and unforgettable memories,” reads the description.

The trailer opens on a desert landscape where mother and daughter are glued together. The mother asks her to close her eyes and name her feelings. The child replies that she feels the wind, the sun… Then the mother asks her if she’d be able to enjoy a place like this if she couldn’t see.

Blink follows a family who have been terribly diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa in three of their children. This is a degenerative genetic eye disease characterized by a progressive and gradual loss of vision, usually leading to complete blindness.

Don’t forget your handkerchiefs on October 4, as you accompany the Pelletier family as they travel the world in pursuit of their children’s dreams.

Drug ad featuring Serena Williams is misleading, says FDA

The FDA (Food and Drug Administration) recently sent a letter expressing its dissatisfaction with a TV commercial featuring tennis player Serena Williams, stating that it contains several claims that are misleading to the public.

According to the FDA, the misleading ad depicts tennis champion Serena Williams suffering from a severe migraine attack and light sensitivity in her locker room.

Shortly afterwards, however, she is shown laughing and smiling. Then she appears enthusiastically, walking a blue path through the stage curtains and waving to the audience.

Meanwhile, a voiceover claims that the drug quickly eliminates migraine pain, while on-screen text states that Ubrelvy quickly relieves migraine pain.

Getty Images

The FDA argues that, although Ubrelvy offers a significant therapeutic benefit to migraine sufferers, the advertising gives a misleading impression of its actual efficacy.

The FDA highlights two major concerns in its explanations: the speed at which the migraine drug works and the implication in the advertising that migraine symptoms, (such as pain but also photophobia, phonophobia and nausea) will disappear completely after taking the drug.

Getty Images

The FDA stresses the importance of accuracy in drug advertising, claiming that Ubrelvy’s efficacy is exaggerated in the ad with Serena Williams.

According to the FDA, Ubrelvy reportedly takes around two hours to work, contrary to what is suggested in the ad, and around 78% to 81% of patients fail to achieve complete pain relief after a single dose, according to clinical studies.

Getty Images

Finally, in addition to misleading about the two-hour onset of action, the claim that “one dose eliminates migraine pain” is also misleading, as only around 19% to 22% of patients were pain-free two hours after taking one dose of Ubrelvy.

Jon Bon Jovi saves a woman about to jump off a Nashville bridge

Rock legend Jon Bon Jovi recently showed great presence of mind when he detected a woman in psychological distress on a pedestrian bridge in Nashville, Tennessee, while filming a music video.

Aware of the imminent danger, Bon Jovi immediately interrupted filming to come to her aid.

The event that could have had tragic consequences occurred on September 10, when Bon Jovi and his film crew spotted the woman precariously perched on the bridge rail.

Bon Jovi quickly went to meet her and strike up a conversation.

MetroNashvillePoliceDepartment

MetroNashville Police recently released video footage of the incident, in which the singer and a woman are seen approaching the woman in distress.

Both struck up a conversation with the woman, who was on the other side of the fence.

MetroNashvillePoliceDepartment

The compassion shown by Bon Jovi and the person accompanying him was palpable, as the images show.

After a few minutes of dialogue, they managed to convince the woman to return to the safe side of the bridge.

MetroNashvillePoliceDepartment

The actions of Bon Jovi and those present that day clearly demonstrate the importance of promoting a supportive culture within the community.

It also underscores the importance of promoting mental health and supporting organizations dedicated to suicide prevention.
