From the Margins

This week on From the Margins, I am joined by Francesco MacAllister-Caruso, a community organizer and activist who is very present in the struggle for Francophone minority rights in Canada. We are discussing the idea of linguistic insecurity, or « insécurité linguistique » in French: the ways in which people are shamed for speaking their language, and the varying ways in which Francophones outside of Québec are pushed into situations which often lead to them losing their language.

On this episode of From the Margins, I get to sit down with Gabriel Enxuga, BSW, RSWc from the Youth Project (and my partner, eep!) to discuss access to health and social services for trans folks in Canada. In their capacity as the support services coordinator at the Youth Project, a part of Gabriel’s work is focusing on how to create meaningful, substantive change in Nova Scotia in order to ensure the safety and well-being of trans and gender-diverse people.

On this episode of From the Margins, I am joined by Nivie Singh, an organizer with We Are Missing. Their work points out the integral need for intersectionality within contemporary pride movements in Canada. We got the opportunity to chat about their work, share our organizing experiences, and dream of a better world. We talk about harm reduction, righteous anger, and so much more.

On the very first episode of "From the Margins", I thought that we would start with a discussion on intersectionality. I had the chance to sit down with K'jipuktuk's own social justice activist and overall superstar Masuma Khan to talk about what intersectionality is, what it isn't, and how we can work together in solidarity and build healthier communities of care.
