After surviving a near-fatal car accident in 1968, Linda found her life continuing to veer in unexpected directions, ultimately leading her to use her innate abilities as an educator to become a successful storyteller and businesswoman.

In The Mother of All Degrassi, she shares her strong belief that television is all about the story, and a good story is all about making the political personal.
