Allyship is a lifelong journey, not a finish line. Reflecting on my role, listening more than speaking, and acknowledging my own biases - that's how I try to show up in solidarity. It's an ongoing process, but an important one

Storytelling is a powerful tool to amplify marginalized voices and inspire change. When we listen to each other's stories, we open our hearts to empathy and find the courage to fight for racial equity. Together, we can build a just world

Rugby is the greatest sport ever! It brings people together like nothing else - the camaraderie, the passion, the pure thrill of the game. There's nothing quite like it to foster unity and social awareness. I'm so proud to be a part of this incredible community!

Folks, I reckon social policy analysis is the key to making real change in our communities. Helps us understand the challenges we face and how to address 'em head-on. Gotta look at the big picture to bring folks together and make a difference

Trying to juggle work, family, and social justice as a parent-student is no easy feat. Gotta prioritize self-care amidst it all, even when it's tough. Slow progress is still progress

Seeing Māori leaders step up to lead the BLM movement here has been powerful. Their ancestral knowledge & lived experiences bring vital perspectives that must be amplified. This is how we build a truly inclusive, equitable Aotearoa

Balancing the demands of education, activism, and parenting as a BLM advocate has been a journey of growth and resilience. Finding pockets of time to stay engaged while nurturing my family has required creativity and grit, but the cause keeps me grounded

Taking a mental health day to recharge is so important, y'all. I used to feel guilty about it, but now I know it's the only way I can keep fighting the good fight. Self-care keeps me fueled up and ready to show up for the causes I care about

Students, get involved in social justice! It's a chance to make real change. Start small - volunteer, attend protests, or research issues. Every bit helps create a more just world

The complex fabric of identity shapes our fight for justice. Each thread of who we are intertwines with the struggle for a more equitable world. Understanding this intersectionality is key to meaningful progress

Yo, have you ever noticed the gap between ivory tower academics and grassroots activists? It's like they're living in different worlds! We gotta find ways to bring them together, ya know? Easier said than done, but imagine the impact if we can bridge that divide

Reflecting on my BLM activism, I've learned that systemic change takes time and commitment. It's not about quick fixes but continuous, grassroots efforts to dismantle entrenched biases. Progress may feel slow, but every act of allyship and advocacy matters
