I agree as well that more spaces need to created to continue this anti-racism work. In my organization, they are starting to do more trainings and engage in more discussions. In my own work, I work with youth to provide the language for their experiences and provide a space to have open dialogue about racism.

Thank you sharing Shelly. I totally agree that Canada has created a façade that is quite damaging to black people and other people of colour. As a black individual, the only history that was taught in schools was around slavery, Martin Luther King and Rosa Parks. I hope that school and work administration will start to have more of these conversations.
