Students @WindsorLaw who are dedicated to breaking down stigma around disability & marginalization. Trying to bring a little wellness to all (often via humour).

It sad & true: #RacismLivesHereToo. It hurts racialized students, who experience layers of fear, dismissal, or gaslighting in their everyday interactions. It is unjust.

Interrogate your own actions -- the "jokes", eye rolls, dismissals & othering. Are you helping racism thrive? https://t.co/5hqUFCvIHJ

[Deepak @deepakmiyer]

Take a minute to read Ahmed Labib's article about racism at Osgoode. Incidentally, I had a conversation with my friend last night about how racism is alive and well in the Windsor Law community. Ask about the A2J course in the school #RacismLivesHereToo

Just because it seems like someone doesn’t have a mental illness, doesn’t mean it’s true.

Mental illness does not have a look. Mental illness can affect anyone and isn’t always visible.

I spent two years w/ @LSSOnt advocating for law schools to implement TRC recommendation #28 and I'm proud to learn that my alma mater is the first law school in Ontario to take the step towards reconciliation. #legaled

We hope your Eid al-Adha is filled with friendship, kindness and love! Eid Mubarak!

"Only" took 20-odd years to right that ship. 😂

In the "meantime", you got a JD, MA, PhD, teaching gig, happily & luckily married to the wonderful @annekersmit, three great kids, joined faculty @WindsorLaw, & are now @DeanCWaters of same! Seems you made lemonade of those 🍋🍋🍋.

Supremacy alsways uses ableism as a chess piece.

[Twittor Leavor @TwittorLeavor]

I was rejected by @UTLaw, @UWindsor, @uocommonlaw. My first articling job was for no pay. I then found a modest paying gig. My first post call employer fired me and my five new call colleagues after 2 months and sued us. Now I get to speak at those schools. #ShareYourRejection

[Jessica Clement @JessicaGrayce]

I didn’t get into either of the streams I wanted in the Theatre program. I was devastated but that is what started my path to law school. #shareyourejections

[Sara Little @littlelegal_]

As a 2L student entering the infamous OCI process that will no doubt bring some rejection, this #ShareYourRejection tag is giving me hope, drive and inner peace 💞 #lawstudent

[Francine Herlehy @FrancineHerlehy]

You spoke & we listened. We are adjusting the timing of this amazing program. Watch for details in the coming weeks. If you’re a law student or new lawyer, you won’t want to miss! ⁦@WindsorLaw⁩ ⁦@KadeyBJSchultz⁩ ⁦@FR0STLAW⁩

Lastly, having passions you advocate for does not mean that you are less qualified or capable of following the career path you feel is right for you. It takes time & work to make great things, but make them you can! ✨

[windsorlawwellness @uwinwellness]

And things that people tell you are flaws, or of little value, can come around to being recognized for their high value & vital perspective

[windsorlawwellness @uwinwellness]

Even people who are clearly out of line and seem set in hurtful or cruel ways can change.

But report them & then do as @malinivjkumar did & kick ass! Their wrongheadedness is all about them & says nothing about you or your #badass self. 🙌🏼

[windsorlawwellness @uwinwellness]

Some evidence that:
(a) success often doesn't come in a direct line; &
(b) vouching matters; &
(c) there are people willing to take chances on people others say no to.

If you feel success is elusive, you're #notalone. Good thing: change is a constant, so it must be coming ☺️

[Mental Health Foundation @mentalhealth]

Taking a break can be really good for us - whether it's a ten minute walk or a holiday. Think about changing your pace this #NationalRelaxationDay

[windsorlawwellness @uwinwellness]

Evidence that the people who do #articling interviews are:
a) réal people too
b) have a sense of humour
c) appreciate our efforts & hopes when we go for these interviews.

Also proof there's happiness (& more hard work) beyond the chaos of articling/summer apps & #legaled.

#DatingDisabled tip no. 1: don’t be ableist trash like this asshat.

P.S. @opheliajcbrown , so sorry this dipshit even thought he might breathe the same air as you. You’re worth so much more.

It would be dreamy to have the opportunity to be mentored by @vivekshraya. Apply Apply Apply 👇🏽

Free transit goes a long way to promoting a sense of independence & fostering exploration of one's (usually new) home! That leads to personal growth & empowerment, which are pillars of #wellness

[Angela Zhu • 朱安琪 @AngelaofTC]

Upon registering as a resident of Mannheim and applying for a Tax ID, the city welcomed me with a Semester Ticket: unlimited rides on transit anywhere in this region of Ba-Wü, valid till Jan. That's nearly €1000 in transit! The Germans take care of their students. #exchAngela

[windsorlawwellness @uwinwellness]

Being recognized for hard work in an institutional way (ie scholarships & grants) -- especially when it helps pay the tuition bills -- is a great way to promote #wellness in students!

[Angela Zhu • 朱安琪 @AngelaofTC]

All right, Germany, you can stop giving me scholarships now. You've already covered all my rent for the next few months... oh, well, if you insist! 😇 Thank you kindly, #BaWu Govt! #exchAngela
