📣 Shifting narratives 📣 As children of refugees, we often find ourselves expected to recount tales of struggle – of poverty, lack of resources, and parental challenges. But what if we reframed our narratives? What if we celebrated the strength, wisdom, and cultural richness that define us? Our stories aren't just historical accounts; they're reflections of who we are today. They speak to the resilience of our families and communities, the sacrifices made for refuge, and the complexities of navigating foreign systems. Let's choose narratives that empower us and honour our heritage. Let's highlight the richness of our backgrounds and the contributions we bring to the table. Remember, words have power – so let's use them wisely.

Today, as we observe the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, I find myself contemplating the importance of this day and the path towards healing and reconciliation for all Indigenous peoples. It's a day to remember, reflect, and educate ourselves on the painful history of residential schools and the intergenerational trauma they inflicted on Indigenous communities. It's a day to acknowledge the resilience and strength of Indigenous peoples who have carried the weight of this legacy for generations. I believe that acknowledging our past is the first step towards building a better future. It's a day to listen, learn, and amplify the voices of Indigenous communities as they continue to advocate for justice, equity, and healing. In our workplaces, let's also take this opportunity to promote inclusivity and diversity. By fostering a culture of respect and understanding, we can contribute to the broader goals of reconciliation. Let us all commit to being allies in the journey towards truth and reconciliation. Let's educate ourselves, engage in meaningful conversations, and take concrete actions to support Indigenous communities. Together, we can strive for a more inclusive and equitable Canada. #NationalDayforTruthandReconciliation #Reconciliation #Reflect #Educate
