If you want to learn more about this topic, please listen to my most recent episode with my good friend Joyce, who outlined the dangers of gentrification and displacement and their connections to antiblackness and immigration. open.spotify.com/episode/7de…

The best thing we can do as community members is get to know our neighbours, get to know our neighbourhood and help folks in ways we can. Give families supplies for the winter, give folks money, send folks food or help them with groceries. These are tangible ways to help.

Unfortunately, for many immigrants, they are promised a better life in Canada but when they arrive they are relegated to low wage jobs and housing that is subpar and dangerous to live in. This is NOT okay.

Many communities in Canada are currently and have been impacted by gentrification but not only that, have had to relocate multiple times because housing is simply not affordable. If one bedroom apartments are $1200, how then do families of 5+ afford a home ???

Gentrification is not only about the removal of peoples homes. It is also about the cultural and communal displacement people endure when they are removed from their homes. This is a conversation that holds many layers and I’m so glad I was able to have it on my podcast.

Some outtakes i took after recording my most recent episode! Going to post a short clip as well. But this episode was very near and dear to my heart and I hope that #lipglossssss knows that many of us support her ❤️

Here is the short clip where I speak on 4C hair and the way folks hate seeing 4C hair that THEY deem “untamed”. Unfortunately, this is just one part of the comments #lipglosssss was receiving.
