I am very proud to be at the University of New Brunswick and call Atlantic Canada home. The whole conversation around racism is a very hard conversation to have with my kids and students because you simply have to look around and it is obvious that this a very serious issue.
I was a minority growing up in Zambia and then a minority in the U.K. for my education and finally a minority in Canada, where I have spent over 20 years of my life. As a visible minority, there is a serious shortage of role models and most of us so far have simply just ignored the issue.
It is a hard subject to talk
