#MyGBC

Hey Huskies and Friends! Guess what? We made it! It is week 15 and we have made it to the end of a challenging but equally rewarding semester and another great season. In fine MyGBC Podcast style there is no way we would close out the season without getting some input from you, our amazing huskies! Tune-in to listen to some GBC student reflections on their time here at George Brown and what they have planned for the summer. Plus, we included a final checklist of reminders for the end of your semester. Enjoy the warming weather and good luck on exams!

How can the simple act of sitting down to eat with other people change the way you feel about your social life, your school life, your health, your mind, and so much more? These are the questions we explored in one of our most enriching (and nourishing) episodes yet, as Khdrea sat down with members of the Communal Lunch program at St. James campus. Learn how one shared meal a week can change not just your relationships to those at the table, but potentially the greater systems that we operate in every day. Tune in to learn about the transformative power of the Communal Lunch!

It is February so you know what that means! It's BLACK HISTORY MONTH! While we have so much further to go in creating a world that respects, loves and values each person regardless of their skin color, we here at George Brown are committed to having spaces that celebrate and amplify Black voices and see the value in holding space for diversity, equity and inclusion. To kick off the month's events, we went to the Roots and Recipes event organized by the Black Futures Initiatives. Follow Khdrea as she samples some mocktails and hors-d’oeuvres and learns how one gathering can help challenge the status quo and "reworld" our spaces and experiences for Black Futures.
