Ramadan begins next week, so I'm re-sharing my "at-home" edition of the Ramadan slide deck I created many years ago to help my non-Muslim colleagues understand what I needed during the month. https://t.co/eAGZD2kQnm
Some things to note:
50% of Toronto’s COVID cases have been people on low incomes.
79% of cases are racialized people.
60%+ of workplace outbreaks have been in frontline settings like food processing and warehouses.
No lockdown will protect workers if they can’t stay home if sick. Paid sick leave.
@TalyaJW@drandrewb@UHN Thank you for tuning in @TalyaJW ! I hope these dialogues lead to more reflective and anti-racist practice in our health systems and beyond.
I'm working through my discomfort...
This was well worth my time to listen to...made me question my own role in the creation of structures that benefit me and marginalizes others.
TY @antuhossain1 @hhdoctoralisha @drandrewb Jacqueline Silvera and Sheila O'Brien 🙏
.@schulichglobal1 reflections: What is the translation of “decolonization”? As a buzzword, we forget this language is stored in the global north. How brave are we going to be to liberate our minds? How can I reclaim an identity that delinks ideas of inferiority+superiority?
.@schulichglobal1 conference: decolonizing global health - @senjutisaha shares the big question of funding #sdoh for holistic solutions removed from pharmaceuticals alone. Why aren’t funders asking “can we help with housing, can we prevent the root causes of pneumonia?”
Thank you for naming this!!!! So many women and BIPOC and queer and trans folx need to hear this. Take up space - it’s not that you’re not confident, it’s that you’ve been told you can’t or shouldn’t. This was a huge journey for me personally and I catch myself still.

Thank you @CSIH_ for celebrating @ochoaeu & I on this win. Barriers to entry in #sexualhealth care exist for diverse communities in Toronto and globally. Co-designing with community allows visibility, as we are more than a statistic and #healthequity solutions must be reflective.
@antuhossain1 is a global public health practitioner and MPH student at @UofT_dlsph. Most recently, Antu co-created Spectrum, a digital sexual wellness platform that went on to win the largest open innovation challenge in Canada @cooperathon.
