Recognizing Black History Month and Being an Ally
Today, February 28th, is the last day of Black history month and though I believe every month should be black history month (because history shouldn't be divided by race), I took this opportunity to speak with Chiamaka (Chichi) Achebe, an extraordinary 2nd-year student about her experiences in and out of Sauder.
Lastly, we wrap up the episode with a discussion on what it means to be an Ally, and how we can move away from performative allyship toward actions that create tangible impact.
