Gearing up to speak at the Disability Pride March on Saturday. Being both Black and disabled significantly increases the levels of discrimination a person faces. The intersections of racism and ableism is a high collision zone.

Participating this morning in the Premier’s Council in Equity in Opportunities consultation on the Black Youth Action Plan.

Stoked to be a workshop presenter at this international conference, plus I was asked to also lead a discussion circle on my published paper “An Open Letter To My Parents: The Government Of Ontario.

Over the past year I have gained a reputation for moderating panels. This afternoon I had the pleasure of engaging three remarkable Indigenous women in a conversation about collective trauma, healing, and working towards true reconciliation.

Here’s our poster for CILT’s D-Next Screening Night, a showcase by Toronto-area disabled and Deaf storytellers from this year’s D-Next course. Countering the ableist representations of our community’s stories in mainstream media and pop culture. I’ll be co hosting!

Moderated a panel on the over representation of Black and Indigenous youth in care. Service providers have a historic and current complicity in the over surveillance of families in these communities.

This is perfect

Presented at the Council of Canadians with Disabilities-“ With the idea in mind that we both are and hold required solutions, I support the honouring and amplifying of Indigenous voices.”

On the day of #EidAlAdha I want to say to all those feeling reticent to be Muslim in public due to the acts of violence, hatred and aggression that the community has had to endure: I see you. I get you. I love you. #EidMubarak

It’s coming along nicely!

I was surprised at how many cars that I found to be insecure today. Please remember to lock your vehicles and remove any visible valuables from your cars.

Utilize sidewalks. If there are no sidewalks, walk on the left side of the road facing traffic. Avoid crossing the street if possible. If you must cross street, cross only at the corner, look both ways first before crossing. Drivers slow down & stay off 📱 #Halloween #PappysTips

Those most in need of protection are often the ones denied it the most. #nationalChildren’srightsday

Nice work partner 🎅 🎁 🌲

Makes the scenes more powerful

Not stopping until every post secondary institution has tuition free spots for former youth from care!

What did you think of #Picard S2?
