The mental gymnastics that Black, Indigenous & People of Colour go through when an announcement like this is made. Work letter ✅ uniform on ✅ work pass ✅ This isn’t theatrics. This is what you learn when navigating a world in which the colour of your skin is seen as a threat.
Replying to @Kayla_Grey
If your workplace is able to provide written letters that state you need to be at work at night PLEASE inquire about having one on hand and PRINTED

This wasn't easy, but I wrote a piece about my mom’s COVID-19 hesitancy, the obvious link with racism, and a country that hasn’t done much of anything to earn the trust of Black and Indigenous Canadians . My latest for @TorontoStar thestar.com/opinion/contribu… via @torontostar

Never forget that 2020 was the year that Black, Indigenous and otherwise racialized journalists in Canada stopped whispering and said it all out loud. In the order that I remember:

For Indigenous people, it’s the anniversary of the day when thousands of Indigenous people in several cities across the country participated in #IdleNoMore protests and received no national media coverage.

Has Canada seen this yet?
I keep watching this again and again and crying. He gets it 100% right.

I’m so excited to officially announce my next adventure: I’m headed to @CBCNews next month as host of a new primetime show set to launch in 2021! Joining Canada’s national public broadcaster is a dream come true and I can’t wait to connect with viewers across the country
In 2015, she became the first hijab-wearing TV reporter in Canada, and then the next year, the first to anchor a major newscast in the country. cbc.ca/1.5780246

This was such a great @popchatcbc episode to produce - definitely give this a listen today
New ep. of @popchatcbc is up. Today, we get into how Breonna Taylor’s death was turned into a meme and the limits of online activism. We also discuss the dudes of The Social Dilemma who are very sorry they built the bad platforms. Wherever you get pods. smarturl.it/popchat

After subjecting @MR_STiXX & @STDYMBBN to the cold February skies, spraying Bay Rum in Jordan’s eyes, and vexing Vanessa’s spirit we finessed NEXT STOP S1 on @CBCTelevision. Here’s the NEW trailer. (Yes, that is @JaeFiasco voice at the end). Watch on Gem: tinyurl.com/y39nkoh8

Tonight’s NYC march for Breonna Taylor that started at Barclay’s is now in Manhattan. Marching through Chinatown now. Somehow it’s grown even larger.

"This video may have led to his arrest [by the OPP] for the charge of mischief, and failure to comply with a court order." - statement from Indigenous journalist @KarlDockstader and One Dish One Mic
The last live report from #1492LandBackLane by @KarlDockstader for this week. All people want here is to build a peaceful community on their land. It's been a week of stories, laughter, and songs. Why does it have to come to an end?

I’d see Chad everyday, he’d go out of his way to ask me, w/ a smile “what magical place did you make for me today?” He was always uplifting us, he was our king for that year. When I’d see him at events he’d ask, “They taken care of you Sis?” (1/2)

Must read. A devastating in depth report into all the ways the police failed Oluwatoyin Salau and all the ways community tried to save her. “In the weeks leading up to her death, Toyin was fighting for a world where authorities wouldn’t have failed her like this one did.”
