  • Black History Month - Flag Raising recap

    over 1 year ago

    Thanks to everyone who made it out to the Black History Month flag raising today! It was so great to see folks from so many different organizations and corners of the community.

    For folks who were unable to attend, I am sharing some of the coverage of the event. Steven Cook from Josiah Henson Museum of African-Canadian History spoke about both some of the accomplishments and things to celebrate in our community and provided examples of why we still have work to do to understand and address anti-Black racism in Chatham-Kent.

  • Live Online 'Antiracism at Work' Workshop by Selam Debs

    over 1 year ago

    On Wednesday, February 15th, 12:00pm-1:00pm (ET) join an online workshop held by Selam Debs. This workshop will address common antiracism challenges in the workplace such as:

    • lack of representation
    • tokenization
    • daily racism (macro-aggression)
    • white centering
    • a "words-only" approach

    and how Black, Indigenous, and racialized employees, customers, partners, and communities are being harmed by not prioritizing antiracism and equity:

    • having to code-switch
    • being asked to educate colleagues.
    • tone-policed
    • fearful of sharing their experiences of racism
    • feeling exhausted and disheartened

    Register for this event at Selam Debs website.
