Presently, she makes her home with her partner, three children, and two cats on the traditional territories of the Anishnaabeg in Northern Ontario, where she moved after settling in Toronto as a refugee in the nineties. Murgatroyd, or Troid, as she is affectionately known, has worked extensively to support the rights and comfort of birthing people, dying people, drug users, and those who make their homes in the urban or rural outdoors. She now lives a semi-nomadic lifestyle with her family, homeschooling her children as she endeavors to learn as much as possible through seeing natural wonders and meeting as many of the beautiful people of Earth as she can. She believes that storytelling is the most important way we can both teach and learn. Some of the things that have made her cry are the Aurora, the caribou migration, and when they're all out of maple dip donuts at Tim Horton's. Some of the things that excite her the most are words, the childbearing year, motherhood, listening to travelers' stories on Via Rail trains, quality of life, history, language, travel, music, and theatre. She is pretty sure she has an even better collection of sunglasses than Elton John, but she'd like to know for sure.view less
