Testimonials
We invited Shawn to speak with our Grade 3-6 students and teachers as we learn to be more culturally responsive as a school. Shawn's presentation was meaningful and engaging; his approachable andaccepting manner created a safe space to challenge our children to think critically about racism. Through personal story-telling, Shawn connected with the students and sparked their interest in better understanding Nova Scotia's real history. We will continue to have these important conversations.

"To prepare for the class, students listened to a director's cut of the episode on Beechville and Connections to Urban Development wherein Shawn and Laurice interviewed Dr. Barb Hamilton-Hinch. This episode, in addition to our conversation with Shawn and Laurice, helped students to better understand how we as scholars can make a difference with the work we do."

"This [event] has made me question a lot about my own work and the motivations behind some of the projects I've been involved in."
