Black health matters: Don t Call Me Resilient EP 5

When COVID-19 first appeared in North America, some called it the great equalizer.

It has become clear that the effects of the pandemic have challenged almost all students and their families. But, over the past year, there is ample evidence that supports the anecdotal evidence from my conversations and demonstrates how systemic racism affects educational opportunities and equitable outcomes for many Indigenous, Black and racialized students and their families.

The pandemic has amplified that fact.
