Larissa Crawford is using the trauma she has faced as a Métis and Jamaican Indigenous woman to create a more inclusive future.

After being hospitalised due to workplace discrimination, Larissa took matters into her own hands and founded Future Ancestors Services — a game-changing social enterprise connecting diverse entrepreneurs with clients seeking expertise in community impact, sustainability, and Indigenisation.

At the heart of her organisation, is recognising that lived experiences are not just something to overcome, but a powerful qualification that can be used to shape decision-making conversations and create a fairer and more inclusive future for all.

I spent my Easter afternoon transcribing my penciled notes from Elizabeth Jemison's, "Christian Citizens : Reading the Bible in Black and White in Postemancipation South." The book makes clear the through line from Reconstruction's white Southern Christianity choosing violent racism over equality to today's type of white Christian who's again choosing violent racism, which is incredibly helpful to know.

Say it with me:

Trans and enby women of color are precious & deserve our attention and protection

Well said

I was not born to kneel before any government.
I was not born to appease any politician.
I was not born to uphold the sickass status quo.
I was born to challenge all of the above.
I come from a long line of resistance warriors & will fight for justice for the oppressed humans & non-human living beings, as long as I'm alive to do so.
This is a lifetime personal commitment.
I take it very seriously.

"Violence is a cleansing force. It frees the native from his inferiority complex and from his despair and inaction; it makes him fearless and restores his self-respect." – Franz Fanon (1925 -1961), From "THE WRETCHED OF THE EARTH" (1961)

I think anti-racists are right to be on high alert

On her latest #AntiRacism Reading List March 2025, @SharonHurleyHall recommended an essay written by Meghan Stewart titled "When Education Erases: The Harm in Superficial Black History Lessons." I'm recommending it to you in part due to this powerful, simple passage: 1/2
