At The End Of The Day with Hannah Sung

Anti-Indigenous racism is built into the foundation of Canada. The more truthfully we face that fact, the better we can take up our ongoing obligation to combat it (if you’re non-Indigenous, like me, I’m looking at you).  But when it comes to having conversations about Canada’s colonial past and present, it can be hard to know where to start. I asked two educators to join me today, who each have expertise in doing this with different audiences.  Our first guest is Kelly Brownbill, who teaches workshops with the goal of healthy, equitable relationships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people and communities. Our second guest is Madelaine McCracken from the First Nations Child & Family Caring Society, whose work is geared towards children. Between the two of them, I hope you get lots of actionable takeaways today. Resources:Kelly Brownbill’s WebsiteFirst Nations Child and Family Caring SocietyEducational Resources on the FN Caring Society websiteGoodMinds.com First Nations, Métis and Inuit BooksAssembly of First Nations : Dismantling the Doctrine of DiscoveryRelevant links:Subscribe to my newsletter: www.endoftheday.ca Instagram: www.instagram.com/at_the_eod Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/ateod

Last fall, a woman was sexually assaulted on public transit in Philadelphia. And there was a ton of social media disbelief – how could other passengers just sit there and not do anything? That’s why I reached out to Julie Lalonde for my podcast. Julie is a women’s rights advocate and public educator, and she’s been teaching bystander intervention for over 10 years.In this episode, Julie gives us life-changing tools for how to react when we witness harmful behaviour, whether it’s violence, hate crimes, catcalling, or online abuse. Ultimately, her tools are about creating safe communities and once I learned them, it changed the way I saw everything. This episode references sexual assault and gender-based violence. Please listen with care. Resources: Assaulted Women’s Helpline in Ontario: 1-866-863-0511OutsideOfTheShadows.ca (Julie’s public service announcement on stalking for survivors and their allies)ShelterSafe.ca (One stop website for all the women's shelters in Canada)PSA for the Stand Up trainingCanadian Women’s FoundationSistering, multi-service agency for at-risk, socially isolated women and trans people in Toronto Anduhyaun, shelter and transitional housing serving Toronto’s Indigenous women and childrenResilience Is Futile: The Life and Death and Life of Julie S.

Eliza Reid is the First Lady of Iceland. However, I know her from twenty years ago, when we were friends living in the same university dorm.Clearly, Eliza’s life has taken twists and turns, so I wanted to talk to her about how to jump into a whole new kind of life–which is what she’s done by learning a language and culture and starting over in a different country. We also talk about Eliza’s new book called Secrets of the Sprakkar: Iceland’s Extraordinary Women and How They Are Changing the World, and what we may be able to learn from Iceland. Relevant links:Subscribe to my newsletter: www.endoftheday.ca Instagram: www.instagram.com/at_the_eod Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/ateod Eliza’s book: Secrets of the Sprakkar: Iceland’s Extraordinary Women and How They Are Changing the World
