Link request for member Mary Ladd

I am writing to request an update to the We Wai Kai Nation Wikipedia entry to accurately reflect Mary Ladd’s heritage and contributions. Currently, she is linked to Don Asmussen’s page and mentioned as a source for Chef Chris Cosentino's page, but her background as a We Wai Kai First Nation member is not yet included.

Mary is an accomplished author, writer, and editor. She is also the author of "The Wig Diaries," which was illustrated by Don Asmussen. Recognizing her Indigenous heritage would be a valuable addition.

Here are some sources confirming her work and connection:

Please let me know if you need further information to support this update.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

In 2019, Asmussen collaborated with blogger Mary Ladd on The Wig Diaries, a collection of humorous essays about cancer by Ladd with illustrations by Asmussen.
