Two facts that shouldn't be debatable in 2020: 1. @serenawilliams is the #GOAT. #23 in the open era has NEVER been done before. Don't move the goalpost! 2. #BlackLivesMatter. Yesterday. Today. Tomorrow.

Welcome to the first day of an academic year, unlike any other in the history of #YorkU. As a community, we are beginning this academic year with a renewed sense of who we are, what's important to us and how much we are truly capable of: youtu.be/flQDpTJS1zM #WelcomeYU (1/8)

Sept 9-10, 2020: #ScholarStrike Canada is hosting public digital teach-ins on the systemic violence that disenfranchises #BIPOC & is a function of slavery, carcerality and colonialism. Check out the Programme of Digital Teach-Ins scholarstrikecanada.ca/schedule/ via @wordpressdotcom

720/ "It is clear that Black youth...were overrepresented in stops conducted by Toronto police." & "The disproportionate stop-and-search rate of Black youth is not an appropriate response to a high crime rate among Black youth and does not represent...efficient police practices."

This takes practice. It also takes power. If you have the opportunity to back up the BIPOC ppl in the room, do it. If you’re a boss, all you need to do is repeat the statement and credit them. It can change the energy in the room

Black people were 3 times more likely than white people to contract the coronavirus, 6 times more likely to be hospitalized as a result & twice as likely to die of Covid-19. Anti-Blackness is a Health Risk Factor in the U.S. for real Racism’s Hidden Toll nytimes.com/interactive/20…

We must find ways to turn corners and go through doors that are closed to us #StayWoke #NoPermissionNecessary #SquadGoals #EveryoneIncluded

Today. Dream. Mighty. Change the World. Start where you are. With what you have. #SocialChange #SocialJustice #EquityMatters #StayWoke

Old tweet from @actforyouth that's still relevant in this #COVID19 era: “Youth workers are often at the centre of #youth lives but at the margins of decisions that shape #YouthWork. #ONyouth policy needs their voices too!“ Youth workers are key to better outcomes for #ONyouth!

"But how could boards not be crappy? A groups of volunteers who barely know one another, see 1% of the work, have little to no experience running nonprofits, are given vast power to supervise leadership and determine values, policies, and practices". nonprofitaf.com/2020/07/the-de…

I wrote this for BIPOC women starting their journey in academia, so that these cesspools of racism do not erode your precious self-esteem. ❤️🙏🏽 chronicle.com/article/A-Surv…
