About this listen
Canada likes to call itself kind, polite, and inclusive — but for Black women growing up here, the story is more complicated. In this episode, I sit down with Mindful and Nana, two incredible Black women, to unpack the truths that often go unspoken.
We talk about:
- Micro-aggressions and the emotional labor of navigating everyday life
- Workplace realities, code-switching, and setting boundaries
- The myths that Canada “isn’t that bad” compared to other countries
- How silence and denial perpetuate anti-Blackness
- Survival, healing, and reclaiming our voices
This conversation is raw, honest, and unapologetic — a space to name the challenges, reflect on personal experiences, and demand accountability.
Listener reflection questions throughout the episode encourage you to:
- Examine how you’ve responded to anti-Blackness
- Recognize the impact of micro-aggressions
- Reflect on boundaries and self-worth
If you’re ready to confront the uncomfortable truths and honor Black voices in Canada, this episode is for you.
Tune in, reflect, and reclaim the conversation.
