Three years ago, in partnership with the , we proudly sponsored the - an award dedicated to celebrating those who use media and technology to connect, educate, and amplify the message of Black mental health across Alberta.

That year, the award was presented to of , a social worker who continues to inspire and uplift communities through creativity, advocacy, and healing.

Today, as we honor T-Blaze’s heavenly birthday, we pause to remember the light he brought into our community. His vision, authenticity, and commitment to truth remind us that storytelling is healing and that our voices are medicine.

Gone too soon, but never forgotten.
Our mental health services, and the way we show up for our communities, are forever different because T-Blaze lived.
His spirit continues to guide the work we do, rooted in love, connection, and Ubuntu.

Rest in power, T-Blaze.
We carry your flame forward.

Today we remember and celebrate the life of Thabuloho, , who would have turned 34 today.
Birthdays and death anniversaries of our loved ones are sacred invitations to keep their memories alive: to speak their names, share their stories, and honor the light they left behind.

Grief is not a sign that love ended.
It is the testimony that love once lived and continues to live through us.

May we continue to find ways to turn remembrance into ritual,
pain into purpose,
and memory into movement.

May we also normalize conversations about grief,
and remember that we are meant to grieve in community, not in isolation.

Gone too soon, but never forgotten.
Your flame still burns.

wanted us to take a video so we can be verified, so here we are! This is our little space where magic happens. The impact is definitely bigger than the physical space, it reaches beyond the walls, the plants welcome you right at the entrance. We are located at Vegreville Holistic Centre by appointment only.

Wellness Empowered Community Services trading as is an Africentric, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive counselling and training practice rooted in Ubuntu.

Afrophobia and Negrophobia are not fear, they are violence.
They are the deliberate erasure of African humanity, history, and dignity.

From Congo to Sudan, the world’s silence is not neutrality, it is complicity.
Racial capitalism thrives on that silence, feeding on dehumanization, extraction, and despair.

Ubuntu reminds us: our liberation is bound together.
When one nation bleeds, we all ache.
When one voice is silenced, we all lose a part of ourselves.

As we remember and amplify the people of Palestine, may we also remember our siblings in Sudan and Congo.
Their suffering is not less simply because the world is quieter about it.

Ubuntu calls us to remember that our liberation is intertwined.
When we center Sudanese and Congolese voices, we are not performing charity — we are restoring balance, visibility, and shared humanity.

Let’s move their stories from the backburner to the forefront, from the margins to the center, where they have always belonged.

What they call allyship, we call Ubuntu.
What they call helping, we call communal responsibility.
What they call trauma dumping, we call community lifting.
What they call charity, we call reciprocal Ubuntu lived.

What they label through individualism, we live through interdependence.
Ubuntu is not something to perform when convenient.
It is a way of life, a relational ethic that calls us to co-create spaces of care, healing, and belonging, not for recognition, but for restoration.

We are not merely chanting a slogan or simply repeating a proverb.
We are describing how life itself is meant to be lived , in connection, compassion, and collective accountability.

If all you know about Ubuntu is the slogan “I am because you are,” then you have only encountered its reductive version.

Ubuntu is an Africentric, Bantu-rooted worldview, a philosophy of interdependence that transcends arbitrary borders while remaining deeply grounded in African cosmology. It is a living reminder that to know is to relate, to be is to connect, and to learn is to re-member our shared humanity.

The roots of a tree, the rhythm of a drum, and the heartbeat of life are more than metaphors, they form an epistemic map, rooting, resonating, and revitalizing the practice of being human together.

Ubuntu moves interculturally through connection and transculturally through shared human resonance, not by erasing difference, but by honouring the threads that bind us across place and time.

We need Ubuntu now more than ever, not as a slogan, but as a global ethic of being.

Cultural competence isn’t just about awareness, it’s about discernment.

It helps us tell the difference between burnout and moral injury, collective trauma and cognitive distortions, imposter syndrome and internalized racism.

When we lack cultural competence, we risk misdiagnosing pain that’s systemic as something personal, pathologizing survival instead of understanding it.

We can only see as far as our consciousness allows, and cultural competence expands that consciousness beyond the borders of our own worldview.

Healing begins when we see clearly.
Seeing clearly begins with cultural competence.

Cultural humility is not a checkbox.
It is a lifelong practice of curiosity, self-reflection, and unlearning.

Without cultural humility, there is no cultural competence, only performative inclusion.

Without cultural humility, there is no decolonization, only repackaged power and colonial frameworks wearing new language.

Without cultural humility, there is no psychological safety, because safety cannot exist where people’s lived realities are dismissed, minimized, or pathologized.

Cultural humility invites us to listen beyond our credentials and meet one another with respect, empathy, and accountability.

It reminds us that live experience is evidence and expertise; knowledge is not confined to classrooms or degrees, it lives in community, in story, in the wisdom of those who have endured and resisted.

Thank you for entrusting me with these three offerings, a communal assignment that is also a call to action: to decolonize social work, to recentre humanity in our helping practices, and to return to ways of knowing that honour relational accountability, cultural humility, and collective healing.

This third webinar will explore the Multicultural Orientation (MCO) Framework, Value Bracketing, and Ubuntu-Centred Practice, inviting us to move beyond performative inclusion toward embodied, relational, and decolonial ways of being.

May we continue to unlearn colonial conditioning, recentre Indigenous and Africentric wisdoms, and co-create spaces where every being can belong in wholeness.

October 26 | *xAwarenessDay 🌿

In the Ndebele-speaking Matabeleland region of Zimbabwe, *x people are often referred to as , a word that names difference but not always with dignity, but with ridicule and stigma.

Inters*x people are born with natural variations in s*x characteristics such as chromosomes, hormones, or anatomy that do not fit typical definitions of “male” or “female.” These variations are part of the natural diversity of humanity, not abnormalities to be corrected or hidden.

Language can wound or it can restore.
As we learn, unlearn, and remember, may we reflect on what our languages call inters*x people and how those words shape belonging, shame, or affirmation.

When we say LGBTQ but exclude inters*x people, we must pause and ask:
Whose humanity are we overlooking when we only embrace diversity selectively?

Ubuntu reminds us that we belong to one another.
Our freedom is collective, and our wholeness depends on how we honour every being’s truth.
