The impact of #AntiAsianRacism is real in Canada. We need to listen to our students and their powerful stories. #studentvoice @YRDSB @SEASyorkregion @NEKSYork #AsianHeritageMonth

On this day 100 years ago, around 2 million Koreans took to the streets to protest Japanese occupation of Korea. Here's the phrase that was shouted on that day: Long live Korean independence! #대한독립만세!

One of the student leaders at the time was a high school first-year student Yu Gwan-Sun. A student at the Ewha Academy, she leapt over the fence to join the mass movement despite her school trying to stop her.

At 17, she was tortured to death.

Yu Gwan-sun,16 year-old-girl, was died after being arrested from the March 1st Movement against Imperial Japanese colonial rule of Korea. She is likened to Joan of Arc.

“Schooling does not only happen within the classroom but in the outside world. It is our collective responsibility to fight for justice.” @raniawrites @AEMSyr @yrdsbinclusion #IslamicHeritageMonth

[Ayesha • عائشة @ayeshasyed_]

Dangerous to be under the thumb of a single narrative. Intersectionality challenges our monolithic understandings of being. It tells you we have a responsibility to bare witness in each other’s harms. It dares us to imagine a future that includes us all @raniawrites 🙌🏾 @AEMSyr

“Did you put more love in the world today?” asks Dawud Wharnsby @AEMSyr #IslamicHeritageMonth Launch @yrdsbinclusion

Network of Educators for Korean students (NEKS) launch today. @hattymoon helps to make connections between well-being, mattering and success for YRDSB students and staff @YRDSB @yrdsbinclusion @Ms_SophiaHan @Pirasanya1

[Pirasanya Gnanasuntharam @Pirasanya1]

@hattymoon stresses the importance of critically disrupting / decolonizing the Model Minority Myth as a form of racism that often goes unaddressed and invisible because it shows up as "positive" stereotypes. @yrdsbinclusion @NEKSYork @Ms_SophiaHan

[Ms.Han @Ms_SophiaHan]

Model minority myth and well-being. Stereotypes that we hear and assume impact well-being of our students. @hattymoon @ekwtshin #NEKS4equity #yrdsbWB

[Pirasanya Gnanasuntharam @Pirasanya1]

⁦@hattymoon⁩ centres wellbeing within a holistic understanding of the self and spirit, and how it is connected to our cultural, social and physical environments. #belonging #mattering #equity ⁦@yrdsbinclusion⁩ ⁦@Ms_SophiaHan⁩

[NEKS @NEKSYork]

What does well-being mean to you?
How do we create safe, healthy inclusive learning spaces where students feel that they matter and belong?
