A week I will never forget. Black excellence is a feeling and a behaviour. It lives in how we lead, how we show up, and how we pave the way for those coming after us. A shared belief that representation, access, and relationship-building matters. #canadianpolitics

Great night at @etfowaterloo.bsky.social’s Women in Politics event tonight. Lovely to hear from @colleenjames.bsky.social, Pam Wolf, Kenzy Soror and Mary Fowler.

This week we officially launched Democracy in Action! DIA WR is a community-powered non-profit dedicated to shining a spotlight on the changemakers shaping a more informed, inclusive, and resilient democratic society. www.democracyinactionwr.ca/donate

Thoughts for this Tuesday. "True leadership is revealed in the choices we make when no one is watching, hypocrisy thrives when our words wear masks our actions refuse to wear."

A first in Canada! Adaptive Vehicle Program in the #RegionofWaterloo, thanks to our partnership w/ #Neuron! 6 new adaptive vehicles are a huge step forward in making shared micromobility more inclusive and accessible for everyone.♿ Book 24 hours in advance for delivery and pick up!! This is huge!

Thank you @strongtownswaterlooregion for the rooftop convo! Grateful for space to share ideas, build community & reimagine a thriving Waterloo Region. Curiosity + care = democracy in action. 🌱🗳️

"Never forget that despite life's detours you are destined for greatness."

Not too long ago people had lots to say about the underfunding of our education system. Seems that's easily forgotten. While we worry about tariffs and the 51st state. Teachers and students remain struggling. 👀

True commitment to principles is tested in tough moments. Integrity means standing by your values, even when it’s inconvenient, uncomfortable or costly. "Principles only mean something when it is inconvenient to stand by them." — Mia Mottley

This journey has been nothing short of a success. While not in #'s. Running in this election was about being bold, taking risks, & embracing the lessons that come with every challenge. I will continue to challenge status quo. Systems seldom change when they stay the same. #ThankYou #CommunityFirst

Had the chance to take someone special skating, (Mr. James), today while on the campaign trail. Grateful for these moments. This is what love looks like!

We have released our plan. I do not want to see Kitchener Centre continuing to not get the investment it deserves. The community can't afford this, our province can't afford this. ontarioliberal.ca/wp-content/u...

Two way all day GO was a promise by the liberal government until Ford came along. I've been hearing these conversations for years. This is nothing new. The liberals would have it done like the investment in ION stage 1. news.ontario.ca/en/release/4... the

Can't stop, won't stop. T-20 till E-day. #votecolleenjames

Officially in the sprint. Great day canvassing with Team Bonnie. Winter won't stop us I was born in February! Can't stop won't stop!

Black History is Canadian History. This month, let’s celebrate Black excellence, uplift Black voices, and continue working toward equity and inclusion. Whether through learning, reflection, or action, we all have a role to play in building a more just and inclusive Canada. #BlackHistoryMonth

I'm doing this for the community, for the generations to come, and for the ancestors who knew brighter days were possible. Hope is always worth holding onto.

Excited to join Bluesky! As an elected representative for Kitchener & MPP candidate for Kitchener Centre, I believe in democracy. Bluesky feels like the safest space to be ourselves, connect, and share openly. Thank you to everyone following. let’s keep building together, for a stronger tomorrow.

Don’t let others dictate your path. If you have a goal, chase it and take the risks needed to grow. I’m here today because I didn’t listen to “wait” or “stay put.” Believe in yourself. 2025 the year of growth! #Growthmindsetalways

Reflections after a long week: We really do need fresh systems thinking and redesign to face these very complex challenges.
