Girl! You know it..‪.‬ Black Women Connect Vancouver

Folks! We’ve missed y’all so much! And we’re back for another episode of “Girl! You Know It”



On this episode, the illustrious Shayla Bird stopped by to join Elle and Abi for a discussion we’re calling ‘Educating While Black’, giving us the inside scoop on what it’s like to be a Black teacher in the Lower Mainland in this day and age. We chat about showing up for the children, showing up for fellow educators and, most importantly, showing up for oneself as a teacher. Navigating the education system can be overwhelming when trying to propel anti-Black racism efforts forward as a Black person in a colonial system while also trying to build up and empower Black children and youth to fully step into their own.



Don’t worry: there are definitely light moments and laughs to listen to as well!

Happy new year, folks! We hope that got to spend the holiday season with loved ones and vegging out! We’ve got another gift for you: a new “Girl! You Know It” episode 🙌🏾



On this episode, “Reflections on Friendships”, the girlies discuss about how vital friendships and communities are for our lives while recognizing that not everyone can come with us to new life stages (which is sometimes a hard pill to swallow for each of us). We also jump on the AITA train and read a couple of juicy internet tales!
