For those telling me to shut up and go home. Please know that many migrant people just want to work & better their lives just like any other person who leave their home country. We don’t enjoy the labor of calling out

Anti-Racism training should be mandatory across ALL sectors! like when you start work and have to do mandatory Health and Safety or Manual Handling. There should not be the option to opt out. We need to tackle this

Dear White parents and guardians, If you see a new child in your school standing in a corner cowering on their own. Invite them for a play date with your child. Encourage your children to be inclusive. Encourage them to learn about other cultures. Do not other that child. 1/2

How do we unpack this ‘Good Immigrant shit’.There is so much pressure and expectation on migrant people to prove their worth. If one migrant person messes up the whole community is expected to carry that burden. At what point do we move on and see people as people?

This video is heart breaking, shocking & triggering. Discrimination, Exclusion, ableism, are all taught behaviors that can be unlearned.
