65 years ago the people of Tokyo gifted 2000 cherry trees to the people of Toronto as a sign of friendship. 🌸🌸🌸

It was a pleasure to join Takeshi Matsunaga, @CGjapanTO, and the @HighParkNC to celebrate the coming of spring.

For over 40 years, Toronto’s Somali community has dreamed of creating a Somali Centre for Culture & Recreation. Today, we took a significant step toward turning that dream into reality. I love & admire the leaders at @SomaliCentreTO. They will always have my friendship & support.

This day was established to commemorate lives lost in the fight against South African apartheid and to continue to fight against all forms of racism.

We're stronger when we work together to foster inclusivity for all. We are united in our stand against hatred and intolerance.

At 13, my mother was a hungry child in a war zone, left to fend for herself and her brothers. Starvation, now as then, is a horrifying choice to inflict in war.

Because of our shared humanity, every death by starvation diminishes us all. Read my op-ed: https://t.co/njc3X4SMzQ
