Happy Indigenous Peoples Day. Colonizers can occupy, but will never take the heart of the people away from their land.

Remembering James Baldwin on his birthday. One of my favourite quotes “The children are always ours, every single one of them, all over the globe; and I am beginning to suspect that whoever is incapable of recognizing this may be incapable of morality”.

White supremacists & racists feeling emboldened because leaders have made it okay. Can you imagine a Black child being in this person’s class, or a Black patient having this person as a nurse. Sadly they are everywhere endangering Black people’s lives

This is no way for someone in his position of leadership to behave. Telling lies & attacking others. Comparing size of the cheers. It is childish. No school principal would behave like this. He is setting a bad example to children who look up to leaders as role models. Shameful!

Black people will not allow racists and white supremacists to call them DEI hires because white men want to be the only one in leadership and certain jobs
