I am honoured and humbled to work and learn alongside my dear friend, Lindsay Core! I encourage you to read her blog. Join us at upcoming sessions facilitated by Talking Together for Change - we are grateful for all the support throughout our first year! talkingtogether4change.com/p…
Today was a proud day for me - creating opportunities for Middle School students to focus on identity, healthy relationships, community building and having fun. It brought me nothing but joy! A special thanks to the students for bringing me hope! @branksomehall
Energized after co-facilitating workshops for committed educators from an independent school. Deep discussions on systemic oppression and facilitating affinity groups led to vulnerability, reflection & calls to action. I look forward to continued partnership! @talking4_change

Thanks to @mstinajagdeo and others for being supporters and wonderful partners in this work!
Bhai Dooj was extra special this year because I finally got to be with my Bhai. 🥰 More Diwali and Bhai Dooj pooja with the family has been good for my physical and mental health. I couldn’t be more grateful! 🪔

शुभ दीपावली - Happy Diwali! This festival season has been very reflective for me. Lots of time to think and find internal peace. It has also brought great joy and happiness as we have been reunited with Neha & Anupam after 2.5 yrs and celebrated our 1st Diwali with my baby niece!

A phenomenal week: Got to connect & engage with students in person! I love my new job! The exhaustion is a good type - the type where you know your efforts were felt and made a difference. I was also showered with birthday love from family, friends, students & colleagues! 🙏🏾

Today is Raksha Bandhan! I was so lucky to see Anupam a few weeks ago and celebrate in person with him. That being said I miss him and all my sweet brothers around the world very much. Sending them and all other siblings lots of love and best wishes today and for the year ahead!

It has been so important to know that white educators were engaging in meaningful and rich conservations at the same time. I know this can and will empower us to take actions for justice and liberation. We commit ourselves towards becoming co-conspirators. @talking4_change
Another powerful affinity group session with an incredible group of BIPOC educators. I feel so inspired, connected & validated in community with them. So grateful for the deep reflections filled with honesty and depth! Can’t wait for the next two sessions! @talking4_change

My heart is full of joy, love and compassion for an amazing group of educators who joined a BIPOC affinity group I am co-facilitating. Relationships, connection, nurture, and support are the highlights of this powerful evening. I can’t wait for next week! @talking4_change

My huge smile after two wonderful first days at Branksome Hall. I must admit that today was particularly wonderful meeting new people & reconnecting with old friends in person. I am so grateful to the smiles and warm welcome. Here is to a new adventure and lots of learning!

I have been doing a lot of reflection and taking part in meaningful dialogue around language used when talking about race. Here are just some of my thoughts…
What's the right term: POC, BIPOC, PGM? With the use of so many acronyms connected to race, we have been reflecting and discussing these terms, especially whether there is a "right" one to use and how is that determined? Read reflections by Aparna Singhal. talkingtogether4change.com/p…
Thank you for this! An important, necessary and valuable learning opportunity!

Remembering Rahul Bhaiya and Taiji today. My body and mind is heavy. I wonder how our family journey and the stories of our lives would have been so different. I think about Lata Aunty and all other impacted families. My love for them is endless. We are forever connected.
