I offer sessions on issues such as anti-racism and anti-oppression to individuals, groups and organizations. I also devote my time to programs that have the most vulnerable communities at the center, such as providing internships and mentoring for black students. I act as a mentor to young people of colour, especially black and international students. I mentor them on how to stay engaged in the community outside of academics or professional life in order to get the best quality of life in Canada. I also help newcomers to Canada, primarily students, with grants and scholarships to reduce the financial burden and facilitate their transition to a new country and environment. In addition, I developed a workbook on how to establish a volunteer-led handbook on which various organizations have modelled their food initiatives.

Decolonization of social food programs such as at food banks, ensuring that the dignity of all people is prioritized when providing services. For example, people should not have to disclose all their life and personal information, and that of their families, just to access food. Secondly, we need to put the most vulnerable individuals at the center of social programs. When we focus on providing for the most vulnerable communities, all communities are covered in the process. Finally, we need to decriminalize poverty and understand that systemic oppression and disenfranchisement are often at the heart of poverty. We need to look at these issues through a trauma-informed and healing-centred – and human rights – lens.
