Martina Boyd, Regional Director for CUPE in BC, opened day 3 of #CUPEBC2023 with her first report to convention.

She had a clear message for employers: “if you can't reach a deal with your CUPE local, it's not us, its you."

Rita Pierson famously remarked, “children don't learn from people they don't like.” They also don't learn from adults they don’t think like them. How do our words, facial expressions, and body language communicate kindness and caring? #LeadInclusion #EdChat #SEL #Inclusion

Always beware of the people you allow in your energy space. Some might contaminate your energy to a point of no return.

The 369th Infantry Regiment, The Harlem Hellfighters.

Though they spent more time in battle than any other regiment and were one of the most decorated, they never got the recognition they deserved. #VeteransDay2022

To those who served and loved the country that did not love them back.

Happy #VeteransDay!

This is how Black women experience maternal mortality at such high rates. And, why is this nurse second guessing the doctor? Furthermore, what business is it of this nurse IF the patient doesn't want to work during her pregnancy?

I am furious that there are PIs that put on a good face about diversity but bring BIPOC people into dysfunctional environments that cause them harm. I am starting a list of research labs I will never send BIPOC (or any) trainees.

Earlier this week I announced that we have filed a human rights complaint against 🇨🇦. Canada's delay in addressing anti-Black racism in 🇨🇦 public service is causing serious harm to workers. That's why we haved turned to the United Nations for justice.
