The evolution of racism in modern times I Heart My Community

- Selbstverwirklichung
We live in a time when we do away with 'old fashion' things and ways of being. Like racism. Most people know that "old fashion" racism including intolerance to Black, Indigenous and People of colour is socially unacceptable. We know this with our minds. We tell our families. We say, we're not racist, we say we love everyone.
If we dare to take a look a little below the surface we can start to see how modern racism shows up. Often unaware and unconsciously below the surface it creeps out. Often in what's not said. Often expressed in negative emotions like denial of a problem or feelings of resentment for asking for change. For asking to consider the thoughts and feelings of others. To think before we speak. To change old habits, to choose different words, to change our own behaviour, to make space for everyone.
This week, I am thrilled to share my conversation with Flo Nusselder of West Grey and is a graduate of John Diefenbaker Senior School in Hanover. Flo grew up in Durham and now attends Queens University as a Psychology major.
Flo shares her learning and journey of her own discovery and shares how you can begin your own.
