Nadia moved to Calgary in 2006 with her family, and graduated in 2018 from Mount Royal University with a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology. Today she is the president of Nadia's Hope Foundation, founded in April 2019, about a year after her younger sister Nadia was tragically murdered in a case of domestic abuse in Calgary in March 2018. The foundation has been raising awareness on domestic abuse, Nadia's story and the statistics we see in Canada.

“Our goal is to raise awareness through education by presenting to the public as well as high schools in Airdrie and other towns and cities, to give proper resources and information that people can take on unhealthy relationships and where to go for help. We want to emphasize that abuse does not discriminate against anyone, regardless of age, religion, culture, socioeconomic background, ableism, or any other stereotype that society instills on victims. We want to share Nadia's story as much as we can and be able to prevent this from happening to anyone else.



I have been a strong media presence since my sister's passing in March 2018, and have used this as a platform to bring awareness of the rise in statistics of domestic abuse.  My family teamed up with Shoppers Drug Mart, as well as the Calgary Emergency Women's Shelter to share Nadia's story as well as raise funds to go towards their shelter.  We have also become involved with Gems for Gems when they decided to name their first scholarship in honour of my sister Nadia.  I have also attended a conference on International Women's Day that was hosted at the McDougall Centre by the Uturn Project.”

MITCH BRADFORD

Born and raised in the small town of Brownsville, TX, Mitch Bradford discovered music at a young age, immersing himself in the sounds of Neil Young, Jackson Browne, and Joni Mitchell.  

In 2016, Mitch left his job in the tech world to purse his passions for music and film full-time.

Fast forward two years later, Mitch teamed up with GRAMMY-AWARD WINNING producer Matt Ross-Spang (Jason Isbell, Margo Price, Zac Brown) to write and record his debut album.

With sessions in Memphis, TN but drawing inspiration from his new West Coast home, Mitch sought out a classic ‘California country’ feel – something that hearkens back to the 1970s folk-rock ‘Laurel Canyon Sound’ of the Eagles, Joni Mitchell, and James Taylor – but with a modern twist.

Critical praise has been high. “With a ‘homeward bound style and slice of heartland pop’, Mitch Bradford works with vintage country rock elements emphasizing the winding, wonderful ways & roads of amour.”

And “Love is Kind is a request to a love for a second chance which with its laid back, breezy melody … as bright as the California sunshine” … “A mix between Ray LaMontagne and Paul Simon but stands as something unique.”

Mitch has performed at the Bowery Electric, Rockwood Music Hall, and Piano’s in NYC; Harvard and Stone, Cinema Bar, Bank of Venice, Canter’s in LA; The Bling Pig, Woodruff’s, The Ark in Ann Arbor, MI.

He lives in Los Angeles.
