To date, I have the honour of talking with psychologists, social workers, former MLA, lawyers, youth, Minister of cabinet, Vice Provost at a University, documentary film maker, former media broadcaster, and policy makers. Each episode ends with some calls to action so the listener can walk away with ideas they can think about, do, and do more of on their anti-racism journey.
Yinan came to Canada at 18 as an international student from China. She shares her struggles, and she has completed her bachelor's and master’s degrees in psychology. She said that knowledge is power and that everyone has a story.
Angela shares how it was hard to gain a sense of belonging growing up. She said you are a lot less alone than you think. She suggests approaching each other with curiosity instead of with assumptions.
Su shares how she grew up feeling a sense of belonging with her Métis community in Alberta. Since moving to Kingston, she has at times felt invisible. She emphasizes the importance of noticing whose voices are being heard and whose voices are silenced. She said racism thrives in silence and the significance of speaking up.
