At a beautiful event hosted by Black Public Health Collective discussing the #imaginationmanifesto by Dr Ruha Benjamin. Dreaming together of the possibilities “when we stop policing the limits of our imagination”.

My takeaway from Ilhan Abdullahi “Imagination is a practice.”

Thank you!🙏🏾

Beyond excited for #ICAM2024
I met 3 of them for the first time last year at ICAM.

Join us to create practical plans for decolonizing academic medicine, elevating the narrative testimonies of Black, Indigenous, and Racialized academics.

Together, we can change the institution

Dear #HamOnt I’m starting my “walk a mile in their shoes” walk on behalf of SACHA in solidarity with YWCA Hamilton while I recover from surgery. Please support financially to reach $1000. #WeBelieveSurvivors #EndGBV #NiUnaMás #NotOneMore twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Welcoming dissent. Giving space to folks who bravely speak their truth

We should never be so fragile as to be threatened by such acts.

Is this not the epitome of patriarchy??

You didn’t agree with one woman so no women shall be supported??

On #EDI :
If we must have both the mens rea and actus reus to commit a crime

just thinking of equity 🚫 EDI work.

+ acting without thinking ...

Tens of thousands of Palestinians were brutally killed over this lie that was debunked on day 1.

You might think this is exaggerated, but I assure you, it is not. I almost died having a miscarriage in Texas when I was visiting home. After that, I refused to travel to certain places while pregnant.

Thank you for everyone who has worked on this!!

84 years ago, LDF was incorporated to provide legal representation to underserved Black communities and to advance racial justice. In the time since, it has become integral to the very fabric of our multiracial democracy.

In solidarity with TYR Labour Council ONABSE Elementary Teachers of Toronto and the Coalition of Black Trade Unionists we are calling for diversity in our curriculums. The fight for racial justice must start in our schools, creating a space where students, staff and teachers feel represented.

Had such a wonderful time that I didn’t take any pictures.

So wonderful to listen and learn from everyone in the room and to see our communal commitment to building an Anti-Racist Hamilton

Thank you to Hamilton Anti-Racism Resource Centre and Lyndon George for your leadership + organizing

This brilliant clip from B L A K E L E Y™℠©® LLC, urges us to call out harm from allies without fearing mob attacks & emphasizing how a movement that doesn't cultivate space for dissent or accountability is a *cult*. Celebrity worship must also go. 9/

On a completely... unrelated note....

The past 3 months have been a whirlwind as I took on the role of Citizen Appointee to the Hamilton Police Service Board.

What does 'GOVERNANCE' mean to you?

Historically, much of the gender gap in earnings could be explained by differences in education and occupational choices.
