On vacation but still 🤔 about equity,justice,oppression

🤔about how BIPOC folks speak of

disappointment
frustration
fatigue

when #EDI initiatives that aim to disrupt are overturned @CMA_Docs

while others use the words

surprise
shock
“at least it’s a start”

1/
The stark contrast in words is because

those who live this

for whom lack of #EDI is deeply personal, lived&often traumatic

are exhausted

but we are most definitely

NOT

surprised

because

we know

that those who hold power do not wish to rebalance/redistribute

2/
we also know that healthcare is deeply racist and still (in 2021)

centres whiteness,
heteronormativity, maleness and able-bodies

and yet also believes that physicians are “neutral” and always “objective”

when we continue to centre this,how can we possibly shift&transform?

I’m the first Indigenous and Pacific Islander in this position. @CashinMD is the first Indigenous Board member this year.

I’ve been asked many times about what being in this position means in the context of being Indigenous. Recent #CMAagm has consolidated a few thoughts.

Living #Indigenous means pushing through structural #exclusion and #disempowerment. It gives unique insight into how to #empower the disempowered.

I’ll be making space for you at all the tables I’ll be invited to. If that space doesn’t exist, let’s create it together.
