February marks not only the month of love but something even bigger it’s Black History Month. For 2021 the theme is, “The Future Is Now.”
“The Future is Now” is a chance to celebrate and acknowledge the transformative work that Black Canadians and their communities are doing now. For the month of February, there are many activities and resources that you can tap into to learn more. Check out the Government of Canada’s website to learn more about Black History Month. There you can find out past and present people that have helped shape and change our country. Let us do our part to bring change, to recognize, love, and stop hate.
My husband’s grandparents immigrated from Jamaica to Canada. We have three children, I want to ensure they are educated about their heritage. This week I said three words to my 6-year-old son, Black History Month. The questions came one after the other. I knew it was my time to do my part by educating myself more so that I can educate him better. Let’s do our part together to make this world a better and equal place. This month I will read, “Roots: The Saga of the American Family” by Alex Hayley.
A few other recommended reads are:
Frying Plantain by Zalinka Reid-Bente
A Promised Land by Barack Obama
The Hate You Give by Angie Thomas

It’s December 31st and it seems like everyone is asking you what is your New Year’s Resolution? You think to yourself I don’t have one. You feel pressure to make something up when you really don’t want to give something up or change anything.
Resolution is defined as a firm decision to do or not to do something. It’s almost like when people make resolutions in a month’s time they have given up because what they chose to do was probably not even realistic in the first place. For example, I managed a fitness centre for many years, the gym was packed the first week of January, by mid- March it was back to the normal clients. The reason being is people chose a resolution of going to the gym each day that was probably not realistic for them. Instead, they could have made a goal that they chose to stick to like “I will go to the gym 3x a week.” Read More→
