Annette VermetteAnnette Vermette lives in Sudbury, Ontario but has relocated several times to offer her social work expertise to other communities in Northern Ontario. Annette completed her Bachelor of Social Work and a Bachelor of Arts with Specialization in Indigeous Studies in Sudbury, and she is proud to have completed her studies as a mature student.

The varied populations she has encountered during her career have opened her eyes to the deficiencies in a moral-judicial approach towards the Indigenous women that are entwined with the law in underserviced communities. Annette's Métis heritage informs her understanding of moral issues faced by racialized populations, which in turn fuels her resolve to write about a controversial and crucial topic. Many have attempted to silence her voice, but she persists, out of determination to shed light on (these issues) and hope to inspire change.

She lives with her husband, Byron, and two cats, Chilli and Missy (short for Mischievous). She enjoys sewing, quilting, and cooking. Her adult children live nearby, and her grandchildren are her pride and joy. Read More Read Less
