Sometimes, it’s ok not to be ok. May is Mental Health Awareness month. Mental health is experienced by all, but gender impacts mental health in a variety of unique ways. Let's continue to work to create a safe community for all #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth #AmplifyFemaleVoices

We are doing it. We continue to face challenges and overcome obstacles. This weekend be sure to take time away from the screen and enjoy some of the things you love. Get outside, enjoy some fresh air and focus on the good things that are happening. Have a great weekend.

Wasn’t ready for this today—today we lost a titan, an icon. She was a writer who made us feel seen all the way down to our bones. When I say rest in power, it’s with the knowledge of all the power she’s given to the rest of us. Keep empowering, empress. 💔🙏🏿

This month, and every month, we honour and respect the inclusion and dignity of all. As Leanne Betasamosake Simpson said, “Strong com­mu­ni­ties are born out of individ­u­als being their best selves.” #WomenEmpowermentWednesday

We recognize the pain and sadness experienced by Indigenous communities as a result of the discovery of the 215 Indigenous children’s bodies in Kamploops. There are no words for the loss these communities are feeling: the loss of their children, their language, their traditions.

[ACS_GEM @gem_acs]

Although we wish we could go back in time and right these wrongs, we cannot. What we can do, is listen to Indigenous peoples, educate ourselves on their history and support Indigenous peoples on their road to healing from all that has been taken from them.
