I love my life, my family, reading, music, and movement. In this thing called life, we keep moving forward.

This is our day. ❤️ Happy day to us and who we are. Whether you call yourself Anishnaabe, Indigenous, First Nation, remember who you are and where you come from. It’s a day to celebrate and reflect on all that we are, all that we have been, and all that we can become. ❤️

I spoke during two events last week about how recruiting students who are currently underrepresented to programs is not just about the entrance pathway. It’s about creating learning environments that are culturally safe and anti-racist and trauma-informed. Both need to happen.

I remember a mentor telling me early on that the most effective way to dismantle was to start to build in a different way rather than spend all my energy tearing things down.

The purpose of education isn't only to impart knowledge and skills. It's to instill a love of learning.

Intellectual curiosity is seeing as much beauty in ideas and data as you do in art and music.

A mark of a great teacher is a room filled with intrinsic motivation.

Selfie Saturday’s are the best when you have blue skies and sunshine, and you were heading somewhere fun with your fam. Taken yesterday but the feeling still remains for today. ✌🏼Happy Sunday!

A few questions to prompt an equity analysis re: online school:

(1) who has space/internet/tech?

(2) who can stay home to supervise their children/hire extra help or tutors?

(3) who has psychological/physical safety at home?

(4) how does it impact students with disabilities?

@kwetoday Lmao I like how you used the sunglasses emoji. Suits the conversation 😆.

[Lisa Richardson MD @RicharLisa]

I reminded people in two different meetings today with different organizations that they cannot collect and analyze data about Indigenous people in their institutions —whether staff or patients or learners—without data stewardship agreements.

[TaySay @ttaysay]

Don’t compare yourself to others. Keep doing what you do. Do you!

As we go into elections, what are the signs made of and how are they disposed of? There is always a lot them, and are they just adding to our waste problem. There is so much ways to advertise through various media channels, I just want to know what the intent of them are.

[TaySay @ttaysay]

I’m seeing firsthand how leaders are going to have to adapt their leadership style in the workplace. There are so many things that employees are dealing with right now that we have no knowledge about. Be kind always.

[TaySay @ttaysay]

Had a conversation today with someone about knowing when something is off and taking care of yourself. Self-awareness and knowing who you are is very important when it comes to taking care of your mental health. Always take care of and trust yourself.

[TaySay @ttaysay]

Rest, relax, refuel, and rejuvenate. You can never underestimate the power of rest and ensuring that you are prepared to seize the day! ❤️

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Resting is not a waste of time. It's an investment in well-being.

Relaxing is not a sign of laziness. It's a source of energy.

Breaks are not a distraction. They're a chance to refocus attention.

Play is not a frivolous activity. It's a path to connection and creativity.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Personality is how you respond on a typical day. Character is how you show up on your worst day.

It's easy to demonstrate fairness, integrity, and generosity when things are going well.

The real question is whether you stand by those values when the deck is stacked against you.

#MorningNorth - Aug. 12, 2021: Manitoulin police service launches domestic violence prevention program https://t.co/aV9L7ZfSJ8

[TaySay @ttaysay]

This project was a few years in the making, and is one of the innovative programming that the UCCM Police launched and created. I am proud to have been a part of this project from the idea to the first step. https://t.co/9mkw29WlHb

[TaySay @ttaysay]

@kwetoday You’re haha A little too excited.

[TaySay @ttaysay]

@kwetoday Woohoo! I’m happy your on it! ❤️ My nightly obsession. Haha

[TaySay @ttaysay]

My nightly walk to decompress and rejuvenate amongst the trees, air, and birds. ❤️

[TaySay @ttaysay]

What are the solutions to closing the gaps in services for Indigenous communities? My fear is that the gap is going to continue to grow and get bigger - specifically in policing, health, education, and many other areas...
