The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.

Shanicka Edwards, otherwise known as Shak, flourishes as an aunt, dog mom, founder of passion project Shak’s World Association, owner of Shak’s World Community Centre, philanthropist, keynote speaker, basketball coach, and entrepreneur in Barrie! She created Shak’s World Association to build respectful and successful athletes with the skillsets and values to develop them into engaged members of our community while bringing awareness to their mental and physical wellbeing, all within the context of basketball. Her mentorship program bridges the gap between mental and physical health by creating a safe space and offering constructive relationships that children can model and where they can learn. Shak believes that creating safe spaces for at-risk and marginalized groups can help our youth grow and flourish into the best that Barrie has to offer. This is the Stay. Humble. And. Kind philosophy or the SHAK. And Shak is running as a future member of Barrie City Council in Ward 2—-what an illuminating conversation this will be!

Ever eaten a cricket? Allow Matthew Muzzatti, completing his PhD at Carleton University, entomologist, bug-lover and researcher to explain why you probably will, and why it’s a good idea. Matt’s research is focused on optimizing production of farmed crickets through nutritional ecology; how can diet be manipulated to enhance yield? Matt is experimenting with ways to fatten up crickets and has designed a Cricket Air BnB. He is already flourishing as a global authority on farming crickets, agricultural entomology, nutritional ecology and pest management as a means to address global food insecurity. Matt may convince you to become an entomophagist yourself, or how to dazzle your friends when you know what one does. And you will learn how crickets chirp. In his own words, he “enjoys giving thought to something others would swat”.
