She delves into the lasting impacts of colonialism, sharing her experiences with systemic and anti-Indigenous racism, and the added burden of educating Canadians to unlearn their biases. Grandmother Kim highlights how these colonial values appear in workplaces, leaving racialized employees feeling dehumanized, undervalued, and unsafe. She also points out the progress and positive changes that some employers have implemented.
