Zanana, born and raised in Downtown Toronto (1937), continued the dream of her Caribbean parents (🇧🇧🇱🇨) who were forbidden to continue their careers as African-American teachers once arriving to Canada. She became a long time teacher and principal for the Toronto District School Board (TDSB)!

Following this, she entered politics. She became the first Black woman elected to the Ontario legislature and Canada's first Black female cabinet (NDP)!🔥

Do you experience the “Sunday Scaries”?
SELF care Sunday is here! Sunday’s spread glory in the mornings and fright in the night. As we wind down the weekend, it’s common to dread the week. Try some of these tips for an easier transition!

💛Finish your heavy tasks by Friday- that way, you can cater to your TLC on the weekends
_
Read your favourite piece (novel, magazine, favourite recipes)- while reading, you need to be in the present, this will help with thinking about what’s to come tomorrow
_
Call it an night, early- pick a time and stick to it! Switch on that DND and prepare your body for rest.
_
Herbal Healing- Teas, hair rinse, aroma therapy - whichever way you choose, this therapy is known for relaxing the body and the mind
_
Create a Sunday ritual- think of an activity or routine that appeases you, then implant it into every Sunday evening - this leaves you with a fulfilled feeling as you end your weekend!
What is your Sunday ritual?

What is your morning must have? A cup of hot coffee? Stretching after you wake up? Making a to-do list for your day? What sets up up for an amazing day?
Happy Monday ✨

What do you desire for yourself this week?
Motivational Monday✨
As we begin to close out the impactful year of 2020, one of the most terrifying years experienced, what does your individual being desire? For one moment, turn off your view to your family, your peers, your mentors and your favourite influencers, and zone into you - just you. What is it? It could be as simple as waking up this morning with more hope and gratitude than yesterday. It could be as small as focusing on the things that make you smile and laugh rather than the things that trigger you to clench your jaw.
Although we all have big dreams and aspirations, start with your thoughts and how you treat yourself today. There’s a chance you’ve experienced grief, a loss of independence and/or a change in course. Be kind to yourself. Your energy always sets the tone!
Have an amazing week, Manely Pride!🙏🏾🔥
