There is no form of protest against racism or method of teaching about racism that will be palatable to racists.

Thank you @TheKit for allowing our founder @KimberleePWest to provide a Canadian perspective on the inexcusable ban of a swim cap made especially to cover Black women's naturally thick and beautiful hair. thekit.ca/life/voices/olympi…

People say “it isn’t racist, those are the rules” like the formation of the rules wasn’t racist

215 Indigenous children found dead. 215 reasons to learn about residential schools. 215 reasons to reflect on Canada's blood stained colonial past. 215 reasons to face this country's role in genocide. An infinite number of reasons why an entire country should be grieving.

The public: “We want paid sick days, support for small businesses, and fast vaccines for hot spots and essential workers” The government: “How about some racism?”

A small way for men to support #women at work: Unless it's clearly part of her responsibilities, be mindful of whether you're expecting women to take care of the admin tasks of group work (e.g., scheduling your next meeting). It's a subtle way we reinforce #gender norms.
