Drop in Centre in downtown Sarnia now open to meet the needs of the Sarnia Community's relationally poor and those experiencing relational poverty
Online discussion, Free
Hosted by AGB’s Curatorial Assistant, Jasmine Mander, Echo is a book-club centering the voices of Black, Indigenous and People of Colour authors and thinkers. Prioritizing BIPOC community members aged 16 – 25, this group offers participants the opportunity to explore a new way forward.
The booklist features critical texts by BIPOC authors and is carefully constructed to inspire open and honest conversation. The group meets monthly to dissect and understand ideas related to political activism including race, identity, disability, tokenization, abuse, prison abolition and oppression through reading. Echo promotes reading as a communal act to inspire conversation in a safe space for ideas to reverberate and grow.
Books are mailed a month in advance of each session or available at the AGB for pick-up. Readers of all levels are welcome and encouraged to share theory thoughts, interpretations, and experiences. Participants are encouraged to finish, or read as much as possible, of the recommended reading prior to each meeting for discussion. Participants can join any, or all, sessions. Echo is a free program with limited spaces so please register a month in advance to receive your copy.
What we’re reading in April: They Said This Would Be Fun: Race, Campus Life, and Growing Up, written by Eternity Martis
A powerful, moving memoir about what it’s like to be a student of colour on a predominantly white campus. Using her award-winning reporting skills, Martis connects her own experience to the systemic issues plaguing students today. It’s a memoir of pain, but also resilience.
