@amandamakepeace The Buffalo Soldiers should def not be a source of pride. They are a shameful moment in #BIPOC history. Worse than #ICE is today... Murdering non-white peoples so white people could have the land...

#BIPOC #Freedom & #Equity ✊️

I refuse to acquiescence to #colonial #capitalist BS.
I'm staying #AnarchoSocialist until death.
Freedoms for all or we have no true #freedom.
#Equality means shit without alignment of #equity.
#LandAcknowledgements are empty with fair #Landback #repatriations & support for land reclamation work, including clean up & rewilding.
Saying you care & respect #BIPOC people & communities without alignment of actions is #ColonialBS & trying to skip over actual being accountable. #HumanRights

@chris I also understand that you've not personally suffered as much as my family & multiple marginalized #BIPOC families have suffered under neoliberal #BCNDP regime. If you did, you'd be hating them all too.

#MomsAgainstRacism Hosts - Be A Kid: Cookie Decorating & Bouncy Castle!

Inspiriert von Storytelling als transformativer Praxis erzählen wir Geschichten, teilen Erinnerungen an Lieder, Orte, Bilder und Erfahrungen, um so einen empowernden Space für queere BIPoC zu schaffen.

„Spuren eines Kunstprojekts von Queers of Color“
27.6. bis 5.10.2025
STADT_RAUM im
Museum für Kunst und Kulturgeschichte

Here's the event slideshow.

1st #NorthAfrican #Cookout at Fed Farm in #Vicwest. Absolutely fabulous community event! Lots of delicious #Moroccan & #Tunisian foods were cooked & given to guests to eat. Many stories shared. Beautiful acoustic music was played. Wonderful new local BIPOC connections were made & some lovely reunions occurred too. I had a really great time!

Most folks who came out had similar displacement backgrounds. Several of us are war survivors who lost our family homes overseas & are far from many family members(my Mom's side is stuck in remote offgrid village) who are still living in our homelands. It was good for our souls to be around fellow POC diaspora. We understand each other better than others do because of similar life experiences from before coming to Canada. We also faced similar struggles/racism when we came to Canada as refugees of wars.

I am looking forward to helping them out more at some future community connecting events & grassroots projects in the near future.

#Felon47 is terrified of Black culture. But not for the reasons you think

All European colonizers expanded their empires via the theft and destruction of the cultures they subjugated, coupled with the intellectual propagandization of their own cultural superiority. Since the world wars, the march of modernity and the inescapability of western cultural imperialism continue to be hedged on that perfectly rigged game in which the products of whiteness are extolled.

I'm processing all the photos/vids from yesterday now. Then going for a mental wellness walk in nearby forest. Napping after lunch. Visiting one client in afternoon. Getting back to personal communications when back from client appointment.

I have a couple of phone meetings today to discuss creating a #cultural #SeedLibrary (separate from the LifeCycles Victoria Seed Library project). The BIPOC specific seeds library would be only for food crop seeds from our far away homelands that aren't really grown or known about here. There's many of us POC who've been displaced from our homelands & far from our traditional food crops. There's a gap with seed libraries here - all the ones currently available are colonial & don't include many POC traditional food crop seeds. I want to work with local, #BIPOC #diaspora folks to create the first cultural seed library on #VancouverIsland. I met several fellow displaced POC war survivors yesterday & there's a lot of interest in this idea. I want to work on making it a reality. BIPOC #FoodSecurity initiative.
