Grateful to have facilitated the first ever @CAIS_Schools LI in-person Pluralism module and to hear about the amazing work happening across Turtle Island. This is the quote I've clung to this year - may it inspire you to do the same.

I am so grateful for the brave and vulnerable conversations at last night’s @CISOntario POC affinity gathering. When was the last time you felt wholly seen? What would you tell your younger self that would have helped your identity journey? @Nina_LeePhD

“Intelligence is traditionally viewed as the ability to think and learn. Yet in a turbulent world, there’s another set of cognitive skills that might matter more: the ability to rethink and unlearn.” @AdamMGrant #inspiredquotes #AtlasoftheHeart

For me, forgiveness and compassion are always linked: how do we hold people accountable for wrongdoing and yet at the same time remain in touch with their humanity enough to believe in their capacity to be transformed? Bell Hooks #gamechanger #RestinPower #bellhooks

Inspired by the wisdom from @CAIS_Schools Pluralism leaders. How do we support healthy racial identity development? Where do implicit biases needed to be dismantled? Another day of great and courageous convos. @CAISPD #CAISLI @garysylven – at Toronto, Ontario

Great conversations from Day 1 of the #CAISLI Pluralism module. Exploring and unpacking surface and deep cultural norms that stem from and perpetuate hierarchies. How can we honour and leverage pluralism? Excited for Day 2! @CAIS_Schools @garysylven – at Toronto, Ontario
