"Because for numbers to be meaningful, you need context."

@infowetrust shares how we can use data storytelling to grab people’s attention, craft a story, and persuade audiences at #FWD50.

@acroll & @Marthalanefox questioning why we do not hold leaders debates/discussions on a regular and ongoing basis rather than only before an election??..

Once again Barbados PM Mia Mottley has been the one who has delivered the speech the world needed. May she be heard, may we rise. Take 8 minutes to listen to the whole thing. Share the lines that grabbed you most. #COP26

No shock, no surprise. Just disgust, anger that 751 children were so violently harmed by the church and state. The myth of Canada is crumbling. This settler, colonial, genocide state needs to be held accountable and those of us who have benefitted as settlers need to fix it too!

[Shantia Thompson @SThom090]

This is so disturbing!! 🤬 Former Chief Justice McLachlin called it #CulturalGenocide #TRC
Those responsible for or accomplices to these mass killings deserve to be punished. #justice

We may not be in the same boat, but we're all in the same stormy sea. And a 10ft wave feels a lot different for someone in a raft versus someone on a ship.

Choose empathy and patience with those around you who may be struggling more than you know. #SpreadKindnessNotCOVID
