Old tweet from Uzo Anucha that's still relevant in this #COVID19 era: “Youth workers are often at the centre of #youth lives but at the margins of decisions that shape #YouthWork. #ONyouth policy needs their voices too!“ Youth workers are key to better outcomes for #ONyouth!

I wrote this for BIPOC women starting their journey in academia, so that these cesspools of racism do not erode your precious self-esteem. ❤️🙏🏽 chronicle.com/article/A-Surv…

"But how could boards not be crappy? A groups of volunteers who barely know one another, see 1% of the work, have little to no experience running nonprofits, are given vast power to supervise leadership and determine values, policies, and practices". nonprofitaf.com/2020/07/the-de…

Black people were 3 times more likely than white people to contract the coronavirus, 6 times more likely to be hospitalized as a result & twice as likely to die of Covid-19. Anti-Blackness is a Health Risk Factor in the U.S. for real Racism’s Hidden Toll nytimes.com/interactive/20…

720/ "It is clear that Black youth...were overrepresented in stops conducted by Toronto police." & "The disproportionate stop-and-search rate of Black youth is not an appropriate response to a high crime rate among Black youth and does not represent...efficient police practices."

This takes practice. It also takes power. If you have the opportunity to back up the BIPOC ppl in the room, do it. If you’re a boss, all you need to do is repeat the statement and credit them. It can change the energy in the room

Two facts that shouldn't be debatable in 2020: 1. Serena Williams is the #GOAT. #23 in the open era has NEVER been done before. Don't move the goalpost! 2. #BlackLivesMatter. Yesterday. Today. Tomorrow.
