I encourage all of our listeners and supporters to take a moment of silence wherever you might be today. This week we lost a beautiful human and a deeply compassionate activist, Batool. She was one of the first people to welcome me and many others to the Palestinian movement - her kindness and beauty of spirit will live on in all of us who knew her ❤️️One of my favorite humans on planet earth, Michelle Robinson, stopped by to kick off season 8 of the Voices in Recovery Podcast. We talk about racism because it exists and is the daily reality in the worlds we live. Michelle explains pervasive racism entwined in every layer of our modern society and which is perpetrated against Black, Indigenous, and People of Color everyday. What might appear to be increased "crime prevention" within gentrified areas of any city could be something quite different - another example of "city organizations(law enforcement)", "business associations" and "communities" softly policing Black, Indigenous, and People of Color. The indoctrination into the mindset of white supremacy plays out daily in these incredibly harmful systems, which surround us. If you're looking for a new podcast, please support, share, and like The Native Calgarian Podcast as Michelle is a dedicated human. Black Pride YYC has The Black Pride Festival on August 9th, 2025 at The Hillhurst Community Centre.
