Anne you are phenomenal, thanks for sharing.

Watching this now 1 year later. Thank you so much for sharing your stories with us. More and more people are getting educated on things past generations should've been aware about way before our time. Best wishes to you :)

[@pguitard8923]

Thank you very interesting and inspiring

[@sherreerobichaud9999]

Have the creators of the most recent school curriculum received input from the Canadian Black community? Anne is speaking her truth, how she was treated and what was taught to her. We should all seek to know the truth of all aspects of Canadian history. Personally, I am just starting my journey of discovery about all people groups of Canada.

Wow! this a very lovely presentation you are very eloquent, I am so proud of you. Thank you for sharing.

[@marshalaylor5047]

Well done Anne. You articulated so well what many of us and our students have gone through and continue to experience even today. Let's hope your courageous sharing will help others recognize themselves in your experience and if they are a part of the problem, seek to change.

Thank you Anne for that vibrant testimony. We definitely need to have that kind of conversation so that we can deconstruct the myths surrounding black people in Canada. #blackexcellence

Thanks you for sharing you Story queen and teaching us about Queen Jean Augustine. I had heard about her centre but didn’t know about her. This video made me smile.

[@Cakepop_16]

Wow! This video was so informative and the beginning was so sad, I feel so bad for you Anne.

I’m an American trying to learn more about Canada (considering uottawa for my MPA) and I’m so lucky that I have this as one of my first Canadian history lessons! Thanks for providing for me what was left out for you!

I know what it's like to feel like you want to be "white" I'm a Latino and I am light skinned but I don't have blue or green eyes so sometimes I wear contacts in my eyes. Cool video.

Anne, when I heard your personal story dealing with that teacher in elementary school, made my blood boil. Seems like you are doing great things, so dust off your shoulder. All the best to you, shoot for the stars

[@allhousetv3399]

Two beautiful, Powerful, Black Boss Women!!!

You need to find this teacher and let her know how she impacted you. Let her know that despite her attempts you have succeeded.

[@davidsrogers]

Propagandist .... Rewriting history she has absolutely no idea ...it's sad really

[@Tigerlygaming]

This video is really important but I don’t agree with the intro talking about what was taught in school. While it is important she got to learn the truth about her history, today’s Canadian curriculum is completely different and DOES teach about the bad historical events and everything wrong that happened. One thing that should be HEAVILY noted is that Canadian, and many education systems, barely teach about culture other than European/ North American and that is so sad! With so much culture and ethnicity in Canada’s present day, there should be more focus on other countries and other important parts of history not just related to European or American history.

Have the creators of the most recent school curriculum received input from numerous Canadian Black citizens? Anne is speaking her truth, how she was treated and what was taught to her. We should all seek to know the truth of all aspects of Canadian history. Personally, I am just starting my journey of discovery about all people groups of Canada.

The fact is Canada established in 1867 was created by two founding nations British and French other European nations settles Slavs Scandinavias Germans Italians Portuguese Greeks later West Indians in late 1960s prior to that Blacks were negligible much below 1% ....so obviously the history of the dominant nations would be Eurocentric....Black immigrants ie negroes have only been coming in the last 50+ years so not too much history .... So no slavery in Canada which was a country in 1867
