It’s very important to post articles like this on this platform where decision makers sit. A lot of people were writing about this topic and supporting it, even to the tune of millions when it was “trendy”. Now that the political landscape has shifted and there is an attack on DEI and people of colour everyone’s true intentions are at the forefront and sadly we now see most people nevery truly cared to uplift the people that have been overlooked & under resourced not for decades, but for centuries. These times too shall pass and what will be remembered is what side you were on during these critical times where there was an attack on simply doing the right thing and uplifting underserved peoples & communities was deemed “DEI” and a negative. Unfortunately for you, this time around is even worse because you actually pretended to care in 2020. Our community sees and appreciates the few of you that are still in this fight with us. ✊🏽🙏🏽.

I appreciate all those who continue to stand up for what’s right and have sent many messages of solidarity - I see you!
Make no mistake, the world is in a precarious place both socially and politically. I’ve always believed that love and simply sticking together no matter where we come from will prevail over hate and divisiveness. Proud Canadian and I’ll pick us every time. 🇨🇦
History has a way of weeding out who was on the right side of it and who wasn’t! Through all the noise, political and societal distractions, we continue to build and impact lives in a positive way. Extremely proud of this group.
.@Dreamer_Aliu78 Akim Aliu, founder of .@ttdfoundation , has partnered with the HEAL Palestine team to provide critical aid and services to Gaza's residents. The initiative will support the Global Healing Program, the Mental Health Program, and the HEAL Field Hospital.
