We're grateful to have Harrison Mooney, author of the memoir Invisible Boy, on the #HousingCentral stage. Thank you for the unflinching discussion of your experience of transracial adoption, the complicated identity of governor James Douglas and BC's long-ignored Black History.

In times of crisis, our neighbours are often our closest source of support. We need to work together to foster these neighbourly connections so that we can build #community, #mutualsupport, and #resilience.
