What a great celebration in honour of #AsianHeritageMonth! I learned about the incredible sacrifice of Force 136, who fought in World War II, & met some outstanding youth who are a part of @lwta_program. I also learned I’m not a bad Bollywood dancer. Looking forward to next year.

Have you resented & wanted to reject your culture? A provocative question posed by one of the youth leaders @lwta_program as they shared live realities of racism & experiences of exclusion, tonight at our virtual #AsianHeritageMonth celebration in #ScarbTO North #AHM2022 – at Toronto, Ontario
The @YRDSB + @tdsb need to develop a formal action plan to combat anti-Asian racism in their boards, with dedicated funding and continuous community consultation + involvement.🧵(1/6) Sign our collective letter to support our campaign here: bit.ly/CCNCEduCampaign

Live Well Take Action is a timely initiative, & I'm impressed by how it has fostered young East Asian-Canadian leaders & addressed issues such as anti-Asian racism. It was great to hear from @toalphaed & how their initiative has prospered through the support of @ONTrillium grant.

Asking our students to westernize their names is an oppressive tactic. A big thanks to @debdundas & @TorontoStar for the chance to share my thoughts around reclaiming my birth name. #Diversity #InclusiveEducation #OnceUponAnHour
