@Soulpepper So excited for this performance! Is there any promotional codes available to use?

Physical and psychological safety are critical components of mental health. But in the Black community, safety isn't always a given. Many factors together, including systemic racism and social stigma, create a mental health crisis. #mentalhealth

The 2023 theme for #blackhistorymonth is: “Ours to tell”. This theme represents both an opportunity to engage in open dialogue and a commitment to learning more about the stories Black communities in Canada have to tell about their histories, successes, sacrifices and triumphs.

[AGATA Resource Centre Inc. @AgataInc]

Every February, people across Canada participate in Black History Month events and festivities that honour the legacy of Black people in Canada and their communities. #blackhistorymonth

Writing a journalism textbook is a thing I've wanted to do for a long time. It's finally happened.

'Decolonizing Journalism: A Guide to Reporting In Indigenous Communities' will be available from @OUPCanada this fall. https://t.co/HHBNANJ6yY

Let me tell you a l'il bit about it.

[melanin mvskoke @MelaninMvskoke]

“Decolonizing” most institutions would actually mean dissolving them and closing them down as most institutions are colonial by design and by function.

Last year so many people protested Canada Day after the news came out of Kamloops. We are still uncovering graves.

Will it be the same this year? Did anything actually shift in anyone? Canada, how long is your memory?

[AGATA Resource Centre Inc. @AgataInc]

@Sharma20749752 @sj2go @TorontoStar Lol this is a silly response. Thank you for the laughs.

[AGATA Resource Centre Inc. @AgataInc]

@asquared20me @sj2go @TorontoStar I can understand that point, but I wasn't referring to that. His colour does matter. Every. Single. Day and every single interaction. As does yours. And his colour most definitely mattered when and if he was treated with much more violence and force than necessary.

[AGATA Resource Centre Inc. @AgataInc]

@AgainstDougFord @jasonmarcelTO @Daviers9 @sj2go @TorontoStar It is traumatic. It does happen to everyone. And you are correct when you stated that it happens disproportionately to Black people compared to non-Black people. Your experience isn't invalid just because you aren't Black.

[AGATA Resource Centre Inc. @AgataInc]

@TorontoStar I pray this man gets some peace from all of this unnecessary trauma.

[AGATA Resource Centre Inc. @AgataInc]

@sj2go @TorontoStar How easy for you to discredit this man's personal experience on something so traumatic, to even say it is a "mild inconvenience." You don't know half of what he went through, and you'll never know. Check your privilege.
