This #REJPFS Summit is centering IBPOC (Indigenous, Black, and People of Colour) voices - this can be uncomfortable when we are so used to hearing and centering white voices.

Challenge Others is not to be the devil’s advocate. It is about challenging yourself in your own views.

@4rsYouth Adding this to the reading list for lunch. Thank you for sharing.

re: COVID-19.

Many say that it is Unprecedented Times but it is actually not unprecedented at all. It has happened with smallpox in Indigenous communities. There is a lot of wisdom in Indigenous, Black, and people colour on how to move through difficult times.

This is not Naomi's, nor any other BIPOC's job to educate you.

[Elena @0lencha]

.@CBCGloria so appalled at the inappropriate comments that you made to Naomi Grace yesterday. This is textbook white privilege to attempt to frame a Black woman as uncooperative to assist you, a white woman, in anti-racist, anti-white education.

Entrepreneurship, at its best is the ultimate self-expression. Congrats to @Groundswellyvr Cohort 8! "This is not the end. This is not even the beginning of the end. It's the end of the beginning." #groundswell2019
