Parent frequently blogs for Huffington Post and declares that journalism is a fundamental part of our democratic values. She notes that journalists have the unique capability to reach into people’s lives to deliver stories from around the world. Journalists can enact change through empowering others to become educated on the world we live in and bring transparency and truth to our system. In 2016, Parent was a speaker and panelist at People’s Assembly, an event run in tandem with The Monsanto Tribunal in the Netherlands, that identified the necessary actions for a future that safeguards the choices of small farmers, agricultural workers, and preservation of global ecology. She has participated in many television, radio, magazine,and online interviews, including a TEDx Toronto talk and a well-publicized debate with Kevin O’Leary on CBC Television.
