🛑 Stop blaming racialized communities for vaccine hesitancy. ✅ Start recognizing that for racialized communities: A long history of systemic racism, trauma & mistreatment BY the healthcare system has created a deep mistrust IN the healthcare system. #COVID19

Together, we can better understand and address the experiences of young Canadians with cancer. 💛 In this confidential, online survey with Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, youth and young adults living with cancer can voice their needs. RT to help spread the word!

The lineups in Scarborough are a reminder that racialized & low-income communities want vaccines. They just lack access because of an inequitable vaccine rollout. ✖️ Vaccine hesitant ✅ Vaccine confident + limited access Reallocate vaccines to hotspots or people will die.

Motherhood is great and it’s also not. Nearly 100,000 women have left the workforce since covid. Where is the outrage? If it was men, it would be an emergency. How is candy & flowers the panacea for equal pay & affordable child care? I wrote @TheAgenda tvo.org/article/why-mo…

This is heartbreaking. When I lived in London there was a “joke” that when motorists saw a Person of Colour crossing the street, the driver would speed up. They would get more points for running over people that didn’t look like them. A classmate told me this to warn me. Imagine.

your resumé gets to change. your story gets to shift. your title gets to expand. your role gets to pivot. your definition of “success” doesn’t have to be linear. our dreams get to be as big as our imaginations.

I’m thrilled to have started a new role at Luminato. Looking forward to collaborating with artists, community members, partners and staff to animate greater Toronto in June.

Thank you @luminato for presenting an incredibly moving performance yesterday. It was an absolute pleasure to watch Scott Joplin’s Treemonisha, the first all-Black orchestral ensemble in Canadian opera history. The Toronto arts and culture scene is iconic!

.TVO CMG is at work! has been on strike for 9 wks. These journalists + educators inform and educate the public-their work TVO.me was considered essential/still should be. They are asking for fair wages/job security and calling for binding arbitration to resolve the impasse + return to work.
