Episode 27: Black Joy and Black History - When We Lift Each Other Up

February is Black History Month and for many immigrants, and Canadian born people, the history of Black people in Canada is unknown. From the lack of Black history taught in Canadian schools to the lack of understanding as Canadian immigrants, it is time that we understand what Black History Month is and what it can truly do for all of us living in Canada.

Join Hostion and Andrea as they unpack the history of the first documented Black people in Canada, the origins of Black History Month, and the reality of the Black Canadian experience. Hear how we, as immigrants, have a responsibility to show up for the Black community by seeing the struggle and seeing the resilience. Hear how Black Joy gives us our humanity and how rest is the power of resistance. Immigrants and Canadian-born people have a responsibility to show up, to remember and to celebrate African, Caribbean and Black people in Canada.
