Exciting things are unfolding!
Let's create room for learning, listening, and reflection! I naturally sense the importance of honoring the people I cherish, including my beloved customers. Taking the time for crucial discussions about systemic racism is crucial. I'm committed to learning and finding ways to inspire and educate those around me on this vital issue. Supporting the POC in my community is a priority, recognizing that while I may not change the world alone, I can make a difference in my own backyard. It's like tending to a beautiful garden, where each relationship is nurtured with love, respect, and inclusion.

Tegan and Diane discuss with Brittany the next steps to help support the Museum and an update of what we've accomplished so far.

Over the years, my dear friend Melisa (who passed away in 2019) used to share stories about her friend Winston Walls and the incredible work he, along with his brother Bryan, was doing at the Underground Railroad Museum. The Walls family's dedication to educating the public in Ontario about the Underground Railroad, the first significant freedom movement in the Americas, always left me profoundly inspired. I firmly believe that to change the world, one must begin in their own community.

I reached out to Winston and received uplifting news – with the end of the COVID-19 pandemic, the museum is open again for tours this summer. This is a significant moment as they resume providing their crucial Black History enrichment to the community, marking a return to their impactful work after over 30 years.
