Darlene and Mike are joined by Hadiya Roderique to discuss anti-racism, creating sustainable change, and what (if anything) has changed since she wrote her Black on Bay Street essay in 2017. This program contains 20 minutes of EDI Professionalism content accredited by the Law Society of Ontario.
PLUS: Hadiya shares her big idea of a restorative justice system, rather than punitive justice system, which would help us to attack the roots of crime and get out of the system.
