| 9/2/26 |  What if you're a City Councillor promise to respond within 48 hours? | A councillor’s job sounds big, but most residents feel it in small moments: the email that never gets answered, the neighbourhood problem that sits for months, the sense that decisions happen somewhere else and you only hear about them after. We sit down with Neil Simon, a community leader, pastor, and small business owner running for Toronto City Council in Ward 9 Davenport, to talk about what local leadership looks like when it is built on responsiveness, visibility, and trust. Neil explai... | 1h 05m 17s | ||||||
| 8/24/26 |  Racism Doesn't Survive By Accident | Systems don’t change because we want them to. They change when we’re willing to admit they were built to produce the results we’re living with, then do the hard work of redesign. That’s the core of our conversation with Dr. Kathy Hogarth, Associate Vice President of Global Strategy at Wilfrid Laurier University, and a scholar-practitioner whose journey spans Trinidad and Tobago, Jamaica, and Canada. We talk candidly about the immigrant experience of credential recognition in Canada and wha... | 59m 26s | ||||||
| 8/18/26 |  Black History In Canada Does Not Happen By Accident | Black History Month in Canada feels permanent now, but it was never guaranteed. We talk with Rosemary Sadlier, researcher, author, and longtime leader with the Ontario Black History Society, about the unglamorous, determined work it took to move Black History Month from community celebration to national recognition. She walks us through the reality of advocacy before social media: missed deadlines, long-distance calls, mailed letters, and the patience to keep pushing even when no one re... | 43m 43s | ||||||
| 8/10/26 |  Meeting Black Youth Where They Are | A kid is up at 7:30 a.m. for a program that starts at eight not because it’s trendy, but because it means a real meal, real coaching, and adults who actually listen. That’s the kind of front-line truth Kevin Francis brings to SpeakUP! International, and it’s why his work hits so hard. Kevin is a lifelong community supporter and activist, and he’s co-founded Diversified Youth Initiative to build supports around what families say they need, not what a system assumes they need. We talk about th... | 49m 13s | ||||||
| 8/5/26 |  Black Storytelling Keeps Us Human | Join us on SpeakUP! International for a deeply moving episode with Kwanza Msingwana! Kwanza opens with “Old Woman, Sing Me a Song,” a breathtaking spoken-word tribute to his mother who held on to her wisdom, resilience and grace. From there, we follow the poetry back to its origins and forward to our own responsibilities. In this episode, we explore: How a music-making trip to Jamaica completely reshaped his perspective on culture and gratitude.The heart of African oral tradition, where folkt... | 1h 07m 50s | ||||||
| 7/27/26 |  Nana Dei: Black Strength & Resistance | “I don’t see colour” can sound polite, but Nana Dei calls colourblindness an insult and explains why: the problem isn’t colour; it’s the meaning and power we attach to it. We talk about what it takes to teach with critical consciousness in Canada, where anti-Black racism, colonial history, and school gatekeeping still shape who feels valued, safe, and seen. Nana Day, a globally recognized University of Toronto OISE professor and advocate for Black African Canadian education, connects a... | 1h 02m 42s | ||||||
