What are you doing to connect with people of colour? Do you know your BIPOC colleagues and students? Do you know their hopes and aspirations?

racism. It may be that they need more definitive proof. Perhaps the police officer who didn’t believe I was a university student after producing my picture ID; the client who declined to work with me after seeing me in the waiting room of our counselling office; the professor who was offended t...

We cannot sit passively by and let the seeds of hatred that have been sown to flourish.

racism, hate and bigotry. Others pointed to these things, but refused to connect the sown seeds of sanctioned hate that have stoked the fire of bigotry. I have been asked to respond to hate with love. What does that mean? Should I bake a cake for a white supremacist? What is so often very frus...
