Did you know that white people make up only 7% of the global population? This thought-provoking question was raised by Yaya, a biracial woman, in a viral social media video. She shared her surprise that so many people, herself included, were unaware of this fact. Yaya reflected on how such a small percentage holds disproportionate global influence, stressing that white supremacy persists not because the numbers support it, but because it is actively allowed. Her video sparked widespread conversations about power, privilege, and representation. If Black people are the global majority, how can African people, both on the continent and in the diaspora, unite to dismantle white supremacy and build a more equitable future?

Today I had the honour and privilege to witness a project that our organization (@onheritage) has been working on for year’s come to fruition. My role as usual was to bring the ideas to life visually… including designing the new logo. Hearing all the speakers and performers today celebrating Emancipation Day, especially seeing the descendants of Josiah Henson himself get to see the official name change from Uncle Tom’s Cabin Site, to Josiah Henson African-Canadian Museum of Canadian History was incredibly emotional for everyone involved! To say I love what I do is an understatement! #JosiahHenson #AfricanCanadian #HappyEmancipationDay #OntarioHeritageTrust #Dresden (at Dresden, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgqFXw8tp5d/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Of all the incredible people to be honoured this Black History Month 2020, and as part of the Read With River book club's Courageous Hearts theme, one of the ones I'm most proud to shine a spotlight on here on Instagram, for an international audience, is Viola Desmond, sometimes known as Canada's answer to Rosa Parks, and the first Black Canadian woman to appear on a Canadian banknote (the $10 bill). The beautiful "Viola Desmond Won't Be Budged!" (2010) by Jody Nyasha Warner, illustrated by Richard Rudnicki, tells the story of this amazing Nova Scotian, who never set out to be an activist, but was determined to be treated fairly and with respect. And so, in 1946, when she was told that she couldn't sit in "the good seats" in a movie theatre, Viola simply refused to accept it, and became an icon of civil disobedience for her troubles. A gorgeously colourful, wonderfully important picture book to remind us that civil rights struggles took place outside the familiar stories of the United States, and that we ALL have a responsibility to know our history.

Super grateful for everyone that showed up on the opening night! The show will be up until the 26th. There's a potential "meet and greet" the artist this coming Thursday where I'll be talking about the new body of work and if you have any questions... This would be the time to come and ask me whatever you may have been curious or wondered about.

DISRESPECT A CARNIVAL WORKER? WTFALAFEL? - Yesterday, as I was I was recovering from my over doin' it on #CheatDay (and yes I still want a #FoodTruck blog to organize cheat day meetups at Food Truck parkings and festivals by and for @TheRock)... 🍒🍔🌯 Anyhow I heard someone in the #breakingnews @forestrycoop sector discussing workers at our county fairs and regional harvest festivals as ignorant and obnoxious specifically referring to us #frontofhouse #brandambassador people as crap.🍦🍜🍠 Excuse me? We are travelers and keepers of the soul to some towns and cities... Since you wouldn't use those terms to discuss #AfricanCanadian or #Roma matters, why is it necessary to keep your boot on OUR necks? We just wanna have peaceful fun and earn a living. icing on the top for this @liberalca is that many carnival workers - like long haulage drivers - get paid only for 8 hours a day when they are in fact working 24 hours a day. 🍛🌮🌭 #HamOnt, #Etobicoke, #Scarborough, #EastYork, #NorthYork, #Milton, #Brampton 🍝🍨🍦 Be The Change! @truckdriversusa @ladytrucker66 @peterbilt.trucking #trucking #truckingforkids #trucks #driving #jobs #freebeer 🍵☕🎷 @Trump in 2020!
