On Thursday March 14, our team at
@BACupNorth_NWT met with @SenatorClement in Yellowknife. We discussed about the dynamics of being Black in the North and opportunities to support the work of Black Advocacy Coalition.
The Château Nova Hotel in Yellowknife was electrified over the weekend with outstanding performance from the invited dance crew and the audience. #BlackHistoryMonth#BHM#Yellowknife#BACupNorth

@RylundJohnson Question- Why did it take Canada 7 years to get here? This is what happens when we politicize beyond acceptable. Seem to always chase instead of getting ahead- that is a BIG problem.
It’s not uncommon to encounter someone who speaks English with a non-local Canadian accent, but people who come from other countries can still face judgment for the way they speak. https://t.co/BAD1l0W4oT
So…the highly immune evasive #XBB15 variant was first detected in New York & is spreading rapidly in the US…but Canada will require a -ve COVID test for air travellers from China?
This won’t control the spread of COVID. Instead, it will make xenophobia & anti-Asian hate worse.
I have been told to have strong oratorical skills but I know for a fact that my foriegn accent has impacted the way I am viewed at work or within community spaces. How less often my opinion is valued even when I have the best ideas around the table https://t.co/RrFPWCqzL9
This is the New Years gift we get for living in the North. I don’t know about you but I think this approach speaks volumes about the relevance of the current fed gov’t. https://t.co/bebl25uOKG
An insightful article by Business INSIDER. As a Black Male working in white Canada, I have definitely felt the “make an effort to fit into the culture” experience, even so, I can’t imagine what it is like for Black Women in any work environment or class. https://t.co/Mjz2AM0Y4E
These were my thoughts back in 2019 about the education system in the north and so called affirmative action policies and still true until this day. https://t.co/ISYvxT8gT5
We cannot continue to pass the buck on challenges to education in the north and think that somehow Affirmative Action policies will solve the problem. they are designed for minorities but to serve others. https://t.co/BTt0H8n18I
Labour shortage, high cost of living, stagnated economy, lack of infrastructure and investment, all sum up to a Government in denial on the need for population growth. https://t.co/SFcLuCPQNL
