SOULFULL 2 DAYS❤️❤️
BC K12 Anti-Racist Summit

With humility & courage, all 13 provinces across British Columbia launched its anti-racist network with students, teachers, school/system leaders, including the Minister of Education & the world-renowned Dr. George Dei, who blessed us with deep anti-racist scholarship and indigenous pedagogies along with timeless WISDOM as the Chief of Asokore, Ghana 🇬🇭

At Bby South as we honour Truth & Reconciliation, we are continuing our Action Today and Everyday! As Murray Sinclair states, "There are no shortcuts. When it comes to truth and reconciliation we are forced to go the distance."

[Monique Gray Smith @ltldrum]

As National Day for Truth & Reconciliation nears, here’s a gentle reminder of ways of being that support conversations in homes, schools & workplaces. And not just for next week, but the whole year.
