@VaxHuntersCan I called them to confirm my appointment after I booked, and they said only take appointments by phone and didn’t have mine in the system
Many of our families go for evening walks — my mom often in her hijab and shalwar kamiz. And now, we have to be afraid to do that? Hyper-aware of what is around us? That family is ours. Madiha could’ve been any of our mothers. We are a community heartbroken and grieving. #ldnont
We bend over backwards for rich hockey players but can’t bother to find the courage to muster up the political will to give people paid sick leave.
It’s not just a policy failure, but a glaring moral failure.
Had to pinch myself. Sitting here watching a Black hijab-wearing woman anchor her show, and discuss mental health issues with Indigenous and Black experts on @CBC. Thank you @Ginella_M 🙌🏽 #mashaAllahtho
Especially when these comments are made by Muslims who also see women wearing hijab as one dimensional. If you’ve been exposed and raised in this community and stereotype - reducing us to a singular identity, how can I expect more of others? The change starts within our own doors

In job interviews and college admissions, we focus too much on what candidates have accomplished, and too little on what obstacles they've overcome.

Iku - you are brilliant, beautiful, kind and so eloquent. Thank you for pouring your soul into this piece - it isn't easy laying bare for everyone to read. Your story and voice is powerful! @IkuNwosu
Awakening: One Story, My Story - QMR https://t.co/MYs7CaNOyJ by @IkuNwosu is now live! Thank you Iku for sharing with us your story, your experiences, and journey as a Black woman growing up to present day, as well as silence when it comes to advocating for Black lives.✨✊🏻
I'm not crying you are.
A taxi driver in Spain who has taken patients to the hospital, free of charge, got a call to pickup a patient from the hospital.
When he arrived, doctors and nurses surprised him with a standing ovation, plus an envelope of money.
Whitehorse feels like home to me - and teaching in Yukon through the LEADER Project and @IveyHBA was one of the most rewarding and humbling experiences. Hope to be back soon :)
