Turning Point Web Series with Priya Sam & Guest Alumni
We are thrilled to partner with alumna Priya Sam (Broadcast Journalism ’06) on her innovative podcast and YouTube show – Turning Point.
In each episode, Priya interviews a guest about a major turning point in their life. The turning points are as diverse as the guests; some stem from big decisions or taking a leap of faith, while others are rooted in tragedy or unexpected obstacles. All are inspiring.
About Priya Sam
Before starting Turning Point, Priya was the news anchor on CTV's national morning show, Your Morning, alongside Ben Mulroney and Anne-Marie Mediwake. Before that, she was the news anchor for CTV Morning Live Atlantic broadcast out of Halifax.

She has been hosting the show since it launched in 2005 and in this first episode of Turning Point season two, you'll find out how late nights spent learning to do camera work and editing eventually led to Cheryl getting her big break.

Dionne Sinclair
Dionne Sinclair is VP Clinical Operations and the Chief Nurse at CAMH, Canada's largest mental health teaching hospital. Her biggest turning point happened when she was laid off from her job as a nurse. At the time, she had two young kids and decided to move back in with her parents so she could go to university. She already had a diploma from Fanshawe College and getting her degree would open doors for her in healthcare leadership.

Their debut book is a dual Language, English and Ojibwe children’s book, called “It’s a Mitig.” Bridget opens up about taking an unconventional path.

They went back and got their GED and then went on to study Graphic Design at Fanshawe College.

He delivers messages of anti-racism, anti-bullying, and cross-cultural conflict and understanding to community and civic organizations, police services, schools and businesses.

In this interview you'll learn about Leroy's work and also about his personal experiences with racism and why he's passionate about the work he does. Leroy and I are both Fanshawe Alumni and we are so thrilled to have Fanshawe as one of our sponsors for this season of Turning Point.
