It's okay to do things scared. That's what courage is, the willingness to step outside your comfort zone.

Never be afraid to start things scared. A little can go a long way, don't be hesitate to ask to get involved. Create the change you want to see.

Be the change you wish to see. Advocacy comes in different forms, recognizing your privilege is one good way to start bringing change. Microaggressions from those close to you does not make your experience any less valid, and lastly, you do not owe anyone education regarding racialized experiences.

Speak up but not over. Read and analyze the situation but act in a humble but bold way.

Don't just feel bad for others and do nothing about racism, try and take action to prevent further racism.

AntiRacist work is everyone’s responsibility! It is not about being an ally when it’s convenient it’s about being an ally all the time.

If you are part of a racialized group, never feel as though it is your responsibility to explain your pain and struggle to others. You don't owe anyone an explanation.

It is important to recognise microaggression as well as to do research on what it entails.

In this morning's conference Rabeca taught me to speak up about racism and not to speak over. Meaning that I should spread awareness and do what I can to make a change but I cannot do that without being genuine in my actions, I shouldn't turn the focus on me I should turn the focus on racism and the problems it has on society. I also learned more racial microaggressions and how it takes away from a person's identity.

In today's live stream I learned that racism is constantly happening to people in our neighbourhood, because I thought that racism was happening in the USA and other places in Canada that are not that close to my neighbourhood. I also learned that I should constantly try to help people that are getting discriminated based on their race even if I do not now the person.

I leaned more about performative activism and how it is so different from being an actual ally. I also learned that speaking over minorities can be so harmful even if the person has the right intentions. As well I learned that stereotypes and jokes, no matter the intention can normalize racism and make discrimination so much worse.

Prioritize the marginalized group's voices and not act "colour-blind". Race may be a social construct but to progress in equity we must act accordingly to an oppressed group's needs.

We are all powerful, no matter who you are- you have the power to change things! Educate yourself, learn, listen, and be an ally to those who need help for things they cannot control. It’s our duty to be there for others and notice problems and fix them. We can change things if we just use our voice and speak about topics that need to be spoken about!
