Honoured to co-author this piece on how early childhood systems shape the lives of families with disabled children — and the gendered, racialized, and classed labour placed on mothers and caregivers.

We have schools in #OntEd with condemned ventilation systems, electrical issues, leaking rooftops, and crumbling walls. Parents of children with special needs are being asked to keep their kids home due to a lack of special education staff. Bill 33 does nothing to solve this.

At the first in-person convention since 2019, I was re-elected as President of the @theondy.bsky.social!
It’s truly an honour and work that I do not take lightly nor for granted. I’m grateful for the support and look forward to the work that’s ahead.

This past ONDP caucus retreat left me feeling energized about the work ahead of us! Led by Marit Stiles, the NDP caucus members are the Official Opposition in this province and they continue to take principled stances that make all of us in the movement very proud.

I’m looking forward to running for re-election this weekend at the Ontario NDP convention! I’ve worked on anti-racist and outreach initiatives in the party. I have lots of lessons learned and high hopes for what can be accomplished by the ONDP during these difficult times faced by people across ON.

As we head into the final weekend before school kicks off, it’s important to think of the working conditions of part time contract faculty.

As a Black professor, attending the Black Grad is always a powerful and emotional experience. To witness our students celebrated in their full brilliance — surrounded by love, community, and joy — is what Black excellence looks like. Congratulations to the grads.

I’m proud to share that my chapter, Black Feminism in Early Childhood and Care (ECEC), is published in The Bloomsbury Handbook of Gender and Sexuality in Early Childhood. I write about Black mothering, resistance, and the importance of centering Black women’s knowledge in ECEC.

A couple weeks ago, I marched in the Pride Parade with Ontario NDP and Marit Stiles not just to celebrate, but to stand firmly against the rising, legislated transphobia and homophobia targeting 2SLGBTQIA+ communities. Solidarity means showing up — always.

#FlashbackFriday to our Honouring Black Refusals research team dinner after Congress at George Brown College. We had just presented on how Black ECEs resist the dominance of Whiteness in early childhood education—refusing erasure and reimagining what care can look like for Black children. ✊🏾

TDSB Ward 4 trustee Matias de Dovitiis, like others trying to reach his constituents, sent out a newsletter under his unofficial stamp. He said: “They can’t tell me what to think and what to say. The more they try, the harder I’ll push back.”
