Continuing our conversation for #SexualViolencePreventionMonth. This time, we're looking at the numbers. Sexual violence impacts millions globally. In Canada, street harassment and unwanted contact are still far too common. These stats are a call to action.

May is #MelanomaandSkinCancerAwarenessMonth, and while skin cancer is less common in Black communities, it can be more dangerous due to late detection. Know the signs: melanoma can appear on palms, soles, or under nails. Early checks make all the difference.
