Humbled & honoured to be asked to place tobacco & offer prayers, alongside Elders, in the DTES for #MMIWG. I’m here to support the families & communities on their healing journeys & in their calls for justice at this 32nd Annual Memorial March. Approx. 5000 people attended ❤️🙌🏽

#ICYMI – Since January 2021, we’ve been helping @WomenatcentrE develop and deploy a comprehensive national strategy to advance gender equity for Black women and girls in Canada through the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond.
Today we marched alongside thousands of people in the #WomensMemorialMarch. We are here with families, friends, loved ones, and community members to honour and remember the Indigenous women and girls and gender-diverse people who are still missing. #NoMoreStolenSisters
