We’ve lost a Great one, an awesome one. A literary dynamo and a brilliant soul. She was an advocate, a Sistah and creative genius. So long Nicky Giovani. May you find rest in the arms of the Almighty as you join our ancestors above. Rest in Peace.

This response has been led by the Black community. We are continually meeting to connect, create and collaborate so we can ensure that the asylum seekers are receiving culturally competent services. Over 2-days we met to discuss our journey so far and a collective strategy.

@CitImmCanada We’re receiving complaints about the hotel in Peel. Why are there no Black-led agencies supporting the African asylum seekers at all the hotels? Has @HumaKare had sensitivity training? Where is the cultural competency? Why are you not covering items below?

When this crisis came to #Vaughan and #YorkRegion we lobbied for cultural supports & wraparound services. It’s essential that newcomers are serviced with a level of cultural competency at hotels. Over 600 families currently are not. Black-led organizations stand ready to lead.
