To all the amazing women in the world, and particularly those in my life... My family, my friends, my colleagues, my mentors... Happy international Women's Day!

This is what meaningful action from consultation looks like. "ImagineΒ a Canada where every child & young person ... is guaranteed the right to an education that grants βan equal opportunity to develop abilities, individual judgement & sense of moral & social responsibility....β
Math inquiry... How can it be that when food inflation is at about 11% that, for eg., Free form chicken was $8.80/kg a year ago and it's now $13.20/kg @nofrillsca.. that's 50% increase! This is one of many examples of exorbitant food prices. Who's profiting at others' expense?

When we start moving antiracist efforts at the pace and in the ways insisted upon by the people who experience racism rather than the pace and ways of the people who benefit from racism: only then have we started our racial justice journey. Everything before that is privilege.
That's a wrap 21/22 school year. Thank you to all the amazing teachers, DECEs, support & admin staff, caretakers, central staff, administrators, superintendents, ADs & directors navigating these last few years in service of students & their families. Have a great summer!!!
As many of us celebrate Pride π, please remember the hate crimes of Orlando's Pulse attack only 6 years ago & now in Oslo. Innocent lives taken. Some 70 countries (of 195 in the world) criminalise 2SLGBTQ folx. Imagine, in more than a third of the world, I'm considered criminal
In countries like Canada where 2SLGBTQ folx are not criminalised (it was in 1969 here), microagressions, prejudice, harassment, discrimination still occur on a daily basis. This is why we continue to speak out. This is why Pride must not be separated from Politics.
It's wonderful to see so many corporations marching at pride or flying pride flags but let's ensure this is not about π capitalism or Pink washing. Stand with us on important topics. As a community, we must be united and continue to fight for our rights. We are resilient!

Still relevant today & likely in my lifetime & the lifetime of my children & theirs. Our work continues. At schools, we must ensure that 2SLGBTQ voices are heard. Representation matters. Politics can't be separated from Pride.
It's Pride π³οΈβπ month! Choose β₯οΈ. To all 2SLGBTQI folks, we're privileged to celebrate Pride. Politics is an innate part of our identity. We must not forget this. With our ideas, voices & actions, collectively we have the power to overcome intersectional oppression & bigotry.
Let our broken hearts be the fuel for action to restore justice. "This moment is difficult, but our story does not end here. It might not feel like we can do much right now, but we can. And we must."

We are proud to share Part 1 of #2SLGBTQIA and living in Waterloo Region! This series will share profiles of 2SLGBTQIA community members, where they will offer advice to students, hope for the future of education, and what it means to belong. #WRDSBPridewrdsb.social/3aVpcG5
There's still work to be done this one is close to home, a region some of my family are from. Queer folx are resilient & are here to stay & are part of your circle of friends & family. This is why Pride is more than celebration, it's fighting for justice
