Bio: Having taught French as a second (or sometimes third) language in native communities throughout Quebec has given Isabelle an authentic connection with the First Nations. Isabelle's childhood was filled with discovering untamed forest, rivers, and retracing the footsteps of the proud nations that lived off these lands for thousands of years before her.
This episode starts out in French and transitions to English after the first question.
Introduction Summary
Sandi: Isabelle, thank you for accepting our invitation to appear on the podcast. Can you share your background with us? Where you are from, your childhood, and how you discovered your passion: writing.
Isabelle: I’m from the province of Quebec, from a beautiful region, Saguenay-Lac-Saint Jean, Quebec. Lac St. Jean is a magnificent lake north of Quebec City. This lake is my first source of inspiration. I’m from a family of artists giving me the means to express myself in many ways. My mom is an artist (painter), Hélène Beck. My father, Albert Larouche, worked for Radio Canada. This beautiful mix made into a curious girl and writer.
Sandi: I can only imagine the inspiration coming from your family and Lac St Jean.
People from Lac-St-Jean are very kind.
Isabelle: We are from a far away region, yet, we are so close to the rest of the world. [Interview continues in English]
