Anti-Black racism is prejudice, attitudes, beliefs, stereotyping and/or discrimination that is directed at people of African descent and is rooted in their unique history and experience of enslavement and colonization (Confronting Anti-Black Racism Unity, City of Toronto).

Continuing the conversations from the first session, this follow-up workshop will use scenarios and case studies to go deeper into the impact of anti-Black racial microaggressions in the virtual environment and what anti-Black racism looks like in higher education.

This session will also continue exploring strategies used to challenge anti-Black racism.

Beginning with a viewing of the 2020 Humber Indigenous Transmedia Fellowship project, Native Enough, this seminar will bring together a panel of the 2020 participants to discuss the concepts explored in Native Enough and their experiences creating the project.  

Native Enough is an art-house short film that describes the negative effects experienced as a result of stereotypes and misrepresentations that shape Indigenous identities in Canada today.

Native Enough was created to showcase the shared experienced common to many Indigenous youth who feel that their worth is graded on their blood quantum outlined in the Indian Act or by how accessible their culture has been for them. The experience was shared by all of the Fellows and it has challenged and shaped their Indigenous identity, many of whom have felt they were not native enough to fit into the external social constructs placed upon them. Native Enough is a celebration of acceptance and community created through shared experience.  

As Indigenous people continue to be reclaim their identities today, they also have challenge stereotypes many Canadians still hold. We are expected to act a certain way but to truly control our own narrative, we have to be the voice that tells the story.
