Over the last few years, Canadians were called on to recognize a massive deficit when it comes to Black, Indigenous, and people of colour meaningfully participating in their institutions.
Many companies and organizations have shifted to address the imbalance by hiring new diverse employees. Yet many leaders still struggle with how to change the culture in offices and spaces to ensure everyone feels safe.
Through her experience as a university professor, an investigative journalist, and an Indigenous author, Angela explores how to create spaces that reflect and honor real diversity and show dedication, in particular, to include and uplift Indigenous voices.
In 2021, a significant revelation in Canada brought to light the presence of hundreds of graves on the grounds of residential schools nationwide. This event prompted a collective reckoning with the historical impacts of colonial violence on Indigenous communities.
