So much to digest from #FESI2019 that it took me a while to collect my thoughts on the conference theme, “Dismantling the Barriers to Education.” Super cool to bump into #anticolonialism classmate, @ZainabZ01 from @OISEUofT! @tdsb/@YRDSB #teacherfriends

Heard great stuff from the first panel on addressing marginalized students & staff. @NHenryFundi @jeewanc @JhonelMorvan @nngafook

Q for y’all: Beyond listening ears, self-reflection & overcoming fragility, what is the role of white students & teachers at schools? #whiteness

Always refreshing to learn from @Ms_Karnad & @camillelogan. Empowering to watch women of colour leading the way in education, research & community building.

Q for you 2: How do we address power dynamics in our attempts at collaboration? #dominantvoices #rhetoric #voicesunheard

Few takeaways from @raniawrites:
- No such thing as the voiceless; they’re just unheard.
- Stories help us imagine alternative futures.
- “micro” in #microaggressions minimizes its impact on marginalized folks

Beautiful artwork from Amber Williams King! 😍🎨 #intersectionality

Goodies/awesome resources for the new school year! Delightful reunion w/ Aasiyah from @nccm! She presented about “Unpacking #Islamophobia” w/ Gilary - fantastic learning. Stats abt Canadian impressions of Muslims was very disturbing. Not so different from our southern neighbours.
