- Miali Coley-Sudlovenick is used to people doing a double-take after seeing her dark skin and then hearing her flawless Inuktitut. She shares her reflections on this moment as a Jamaican-Inuk woman who is exploring the privileges and challenges of her identity.
- Four years ago, Samantha Kemp-Jackson let us eavesdrop on the conversations about race she was having with her young boys. Today, they're both 11 and the conversations now are turning to police brutality.
