Over the past few months, CBC N.L. has rolled out a series entitled N.L in Colour a five-instalment series exploring the lives of Newfoundlanders and Labradorians who don t always fit into the crowds around them in this province.
It s an idea that came from my own journey here.
At the start of 2020, I was working out of the CBC bureau in Northern Manitoba, and for the entirety of my life before that, I lived in Toronto. In both those spaces I had the opportunity to live in culturally diverse communities.

It was 2006, and John Jeddore, a wayward kid from a small community in southern Newfoundland, might as well have been moving to another planet. Tell them you re from Bay d Espoir. Don t tell them you re from Conne River, warned a well-intentioned relative.
Jeddore, 17, heeded the advice at first. He felt lost enough on busy downtown streets and in crowded lecture halls without the added confusion of explaining where he came from.
