It is our roots that give us structure. It is our roots that make us black feminists. It is our roots that give us identity. It is our roots that give us beauty. It is our roots that give us spirituality. It is our roots that make us black women inside and outside of education.
My father is from Uganda. My mother is from St. Vincent & the Grenadines. I am from Canada. I have always seen these identifying geographical landscapes as placing me where I can find my family roots. These geographical places also help me to form a triad identity of African-Caribbean-Canadian. Read the rest of this entry »

My first practice of trying to re-create the real world through education with writing came when my sister and I would be at home cutting and pasting Miss Sassy Magazine back in the 1980s. The audience for the one-issue magazine was my immediate family. Many years later, I had the chance to have the audience of the Ottawa-Carleton area when I got my first taste of working for a real newspaper at Carleton University while my class of 1994 put together Centretown News. I learned some vital things in that newsroom, such as Canadian Press Style which still serves me well today. Read the rest of this entry »

By Christina Cheng
It’s 7:30 on a Monday morning. The hustle and bustle of the morning rush has begun. Newspaper stands are half empty. There is not a seat on the subway, or even room to stand. Hundreds of people are packed in every subway car, shoulder to shoulder, back to back trying to get to work or school in time.
The TTC is the country’s largest public transit system providing service to over 1.3 million people a day in Toronto. Read the rest of this entry »

His family came to Canada when he was still an infant, and like many other new Canadians at the time, they settled in Scarborough because of the rapidly growing economy and plentiful housing.

See how being a ‘four-eyed freak’ is now considered a good thing! Wearing optical glasses are now considered a huge fashion trend and a great way to flatter the face and the eyes!
Sunglasses have always been a fashion trend but not so much for optical frames… Until now that is! Remember when people had prescription glasses but would be ashamed to wear them out because they’d be called a ‘four-eyed freak’? Well, those days are over and people have made their prescription glasses into fashion statements! People used to be hesitant about wearing glasses that make a statement, largely because tradition frame designs focused on function over form but now, that has all changed. Being a ‘four-eyed freak’ has never been so hot! Even those who have 20/20 vision wish they had a prescription so that they can rock some cool looking frames. Read the rest of this entry »

Red Wine is Good for Your Health - Photo Courtesy of Google Images
By Christina Cheng
Wine expertise say drinking wine may help prevent weight gain and help live a healthier lifestyle. Time to sit back, relax and pour yourself a glass of pinot noir!
Wine is not considered just a pleasure drink anymore, it also offers health benefits and I’m a firm believer in that! Although I’m just shy of 22-years of age, I enjoy a glass or two of (either) red, white, and/or zinfandel at least once (sometimes twice, maybe more) a week. I also exercise from home and from the gym 4 times a week and I can honestly say, I have never felt this healthy and fit until now. A glass of wine after a good workout is ideal because it acts as a relaxant- it is a non-chemical means of relaxing because of the alcohol affect- it tends to sooth my muscles and clarify my blood cells after an intense class of Pilates. When it’s wine time, it’s my time! Read the rest of this entry »

I’ve always had significant digestive problems my entire life. In fact, when I was an infant, my parents lovingly called me “diarrhea-baby”. By the time I was in kindergarten, my mom was tired of my complaining about having a stomachache every day, so she finally took me to see the doctor, who diagnosed me with lactose intolerance and completely cut out dairy from my diet.

“Mommy, open this, please?”, my 3 year old son asked as he handed me a cereal bar early one morning. I tried to tear off the top of the wrapper, but my fingers would not move or grasp the wrapper! Terrified, I tried opening it again, but to no avail. I had lost all strength in both of my hands! As calmly as I could, I asked my 7 year old son to open the cereal bar for his brother. But inside, I was panicking because the weakness in my hands persisted for about an hour. What was happening to me??? Little did I know that the morning of February 10th, 2008 marked the beginning of a myriad of severely painful symptoms. My life was about to drastically change. Read the rest of this entry »
