False Accusations and Weaponized Tears

July 14, 2021 by Annemarie Shrouder Leave a Comment

I was going to write something "lighter" this week, but then I saw the video on Instagram of a white woman in a store, crying and screaming and saying she was being threatened by a Black woman who was videotaping her. The video opens with what looks like the white woman coming to hit the Black …

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 …

BlackNorth Initiative – is your company up for the challenge?

July 22, 2020 by Annemarie Shrouder Leave a Comment

BlackNorth Initiative was formed last month. As many of these, it was  in response to the killing of George Floyd. But anti-Black racism is (sadly) not a new issue. Their goal? To increase the representation of people who are Black around Canada’s Boardroom tables and among executive suites. They …

“Remembering Colonization” Day

July 1, 2020 by Annemarie Shrouder Leave a Comment

If you’re in Canada, today is a holiday. It’s “Canada Day” – the day we celebrate the official creation of our country. It’s a day that many Canadians celebrate for many reasons: from being thankful to have a day off work to being thankful for arriving and living in a country where there is no …

Anti-Black Racism is Real

June 3, 2020 by Annemarie Shrouder Leave a Comment

I’m feeling hopeful this week as our federal political leaders have publicly stated that anti-Black racism is real in Canada. Because it is. Because we need to talk about it. Because allies help in our struggles for justice of all kinds. (You can read about the statements made here and …

Racism, Pain and Loss

June 1, 2020 by Annemarie Shrouder Leave a Comment

Last week was challenging, to say the least. And sadly, not new... We had two publicly shared incidents of racism. One in Central Park and one in Minneapolis. One involving police and one involving a civilian. One involving men and one involving a woman. Both targeting Black men. You can read …

Who Gets to be the Hero?

March 19, 2019 by Annemarie Shrouder Leave a Comment

In the past two weeks I have watched two thought-provoking movies: Green Book and Same Kind of Different as Me. The former (as you may know) won Best Picture for last year. I watched it on the plane. The latter was from 2017, and I found it on Netflix. I love them both for the lessons they …

The Double Standard of Racism and Sexism …ah, Serena Williams

September 11, 2018 by Annemarie Shrouder Leave a Comment

I’m not a tennis fan. I have an idea of how to play, even owned a racket once, but I don’t watch it. Until maybe now. Maybe now I need to start watching. Serena Williams has been in the news twice in the last weeks for issues that point out (glaringly, to me) the way racism and sexism play …
