I have seen a lot of memes and I have heard a lot of statements about 2020 being a "trash year." Now, if I am being honest, it feels like the entire world is on fire right now. It seems like every time I go online, all I am greeted with is death, despair, heartache, and pain. 2020 is definitely a year like no other but is it trash? In this episode, my guest Shanine Alessia Young from "The Reaching While Teaching Podcast" and I share our thoughts on whether 2020 is a trash year and the importance of gratitude even in a tough year like this one.

In this episode, I am doing my part in "Lifting The Lid On Anti-Black Racism" in Canada by sharing my story and the stories of those I am familiar with. The Black Lives Matter - Toronto Movement exists for a reason. Let me tell you why. P.S If you are a person of colour and you have never experienced racism in Canada, that doesn't mean it does not exist. If you are a non-racist white person living in Canada, that doesn't mean that racism does not exist in Canada.
