Welcome to the 6th episode of season 6 of What's Literacy Got To Do With It? by Literacy Quebec. This week's theme is The need to integrate Black history in Canadian education for cultural literacy and how to build a resilient mindset for peak performance.

We have two amazing guests on today!

First, we have a virtual sit-down with Dr Dorothy Williams the President & Founder of Blacbilio.com. Dorothy explains how Black history is missing from curriculum, the importance of cultural literacy, and how the ABC's of Black Canadian History Kit are being used by teachers, parents and community partners to reach Canadian youth. You can support Blacbilio to go digital on their GoFundMe page.

Next, Heidi Malo, Mental Performance Consultant at heidimalo.com. Heidi works with athletes who have represented Canada, Australia and Gabon at the Sochi & Rio Olympic Games. We ask Heidi about her expertise in helping organizations of people (not just elite athletes!) unearth top Mental Performance, Resilient Performance, Peak Performance and Self-Regulation, and even how literacy weaves it's way in connecting with the people Heidi works with.

We also discuss some links and special news items:

  • Learn more about Literacy Quebec's Literacy Helpline or call 1-888-521-8181,
  • Donate or run for the Scotia Bank Run happening now, LQ Staff will be running the 5K on May 1st, 10K on May 16th and the 21K on June 6th so feel free to join us!
  • A BIG thanks to all of our wonderful volunteers for Volunteer Appreciation Week,
  • South Shore Literacy Council is running weekly Mother Goose sessions (or Zoom Goose!) and some beautiful stories have come from their efforts! The weekly singing, interaction and literacy event via Zoom has become "Intergenerational". Check out their website for details.

What's Literacy Got To Do With It? is a community-based podcast for English-speaking, lifelong literacy learners in Quebec. Our hosts Chris Shee and Jaimie Cudmore from Literacy Quebec, explore topics around community building, lifelong curiosity, and the multiple types of literacy. It's incredible what we can learn from each other.
