Monday Moments: Food For Thought

Monday Memoirs: Standing Together

Introduced by Holly King In the midst of a pandemic that has infected the world, taking family members and friends, co-workers and neighbours from us in every community, ingrained prejudices and hardships are still more present, frightening and damaging to some humans, based on nothing more than the colour of their ...
