KJ Mullins

I believe that everyone has a voice. Combining my passion of journalism and social issues I have worked to bring the issues of homelessness, mental health and crime to the front burner while covering the city of Toronto for newz4u.ca, an online news source that I founded in May 2010.For the past decade, I have been a freelance journalist, writing thousands of articles on all subject matters. For the past five years, I have focused on the city of Toronto, mental health, arts, crime and social issues.Journalism requires various skill sets from being able to listen, research and have an inner insight of what needs to be told. Explaining complex issues under 1,000 words and in quick fashion is a skill that comes from the University of Life.When I am not composing words at my keyboard I do outreach on the streets of Toronto with the homeless. I have been part of Straight to the Street for the past six years. I don't believe one has to be part of an agency to give back.

The Words

It hits in crashing waves

Like that scream from Braveheart

Freedom ringing in stereo

Rushing forward like the bulls let loose

On a hot, murky summer day

And you say quiet please

But it doesn't listen to you

The roar intensifies

Rattling cages like an angry ape

Ready to tear you apart

In a fit of rage

The pain of being locked up

Piling on with every second that passes

Fighting for a chance to scream

You try to step away

Just for a
