Letting Go

April 20, 2022 by Annemarie Shrouder Leave a Comment

I’m not religious. But last year we were living with my child's grandparents, who are. One Sunday I realized that it wasn't the denomination or type of religion that was important, but the connection to Spirit. So I started listening to the sermon with them periodically, to see what I could …

Canada – Facing The Truth

June 30, 2021 by Annemarie Shrouder Leave a Comment

Tomorrow is Canada Day. If you’ve received the Inclusion Insight for a while, you’ll know how I feel about it. Canada: 150 years of...? Why I won't be saying Happy Canada Day today.   What does Canada Day mean to you in light of the recent discoveries of mass and unmarked graves at …

Heartbreak, Acknowledgement …and Action

June 2, 2021 by Annemarie Shrouder Leave a Comment

The discovery of the remains of 215 Indigenous children at a former Residential school on the Tk’emlups te Secwépemc First Nation in Kamloops, B.C., Canada is horrific and heartbreaking. My heart goes out to our Indigenous communities and families in Kamloops and across Canada. As I struggle …

Musings on the Presidential Election Results – Part 2

November 11, 2020 by Annemarie Shrouder Leave a Comment

Last week I made an assumption based on incomplete facts. These are easy to do – because although we don’t have all the information we think we know enough. Assumptions are one of the things that undermine inclusion, connection and belonging.   So we have a new President  elect and a …

Musings on the US Presidential Election Results – now what?

November 4, 2020 by Annemarie Shrouder Leave a Comment

It’s a bright new day…or is it? Although I haven’t looked at the specific details, Trump has won the US election and will be in office for 4 more years. What now? In some ways I feel like I could re-post the blog I wrote when he was elected the last time. But the world is not the same as 4 …

Emancipation Month

August 20, 2020 by Annemarie Shrouder Leave a Comment

If you live in Toronto, did you know that August is Emancipation Month? And that August 1 is Emancipation Day? I didn’t. You can read about it here. So what? Acknowledgment is very important. So, Emancipation Day/Month is a good idea. But we have to know about it, and do something with it, in …

Systemic (Anti-Black) Racism: New, Not New

June 24, 2020 by Annemarie Shrouder Leave a Comment

(Yes, I also have Beyoncés Sorry, Not Sorry in my head now…) I have had many conversations over the last few weeks about anti-Black racism and systemic racism. The conversations feel different. There is a sense of leaning in, of wanting to know, of awareness (even small), that I have not felt …

Connection, not Division

March 3, 2020 by Annemarie Shrouder Leave a Comment

The past 12 months or so have been a whirlwind of insights, new learnings, discoveries, and growth for me in my work. It’s been exciting and scary all wrapped up together as I step more and more into the work I feel I am meant to be doing in the world. Years ago my business coach Lisa Marie …

Forging a New Path – Harry, Meghan and D&I

January 14, 2020 by Annemarie Shrouder Leave a Comment

I had a whole other topic planned and written for this week, but Harry and Meghan’s announcement has given me pause. When I heard the news that they would be stepping down from Royal duties (and that the Queen hadn’t been consulted first) I was with my daughter. As I explained it so she could …
