Jahmira Lovemore White

 

Sharad sat down with Black Lives Matter Vancouver’s Jahmira Lovemore White to discuss the powerful BLM movement that is sweeping across the world.

 
 

As storytellers we wanted to share knowledge and information from super humans like Jahmira working tirelessly to bring light and justice to her community and our own.

The Black Lives Matter Vancouver chapter is a cause that supports the organizing work of black folks and allies in undoing systemic racialized violence. Black Lives Matter is a cause cognizant of the ongoing struggles of all marginalized folks and we strive to honour that in the work we do. We centre the voices of Black folks as well as other folks of colour and hope to lift up those who are queer, women, trans, differently abled, poor or otherwise marginalized.

As a small group of Black activists residing in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia we want to draw attention to our largely inivisibilized communities, celebrate people of colour and work in solidarity with other Black Lives Matter chapters across North America. We also want to encourage and foster the creation of other chapters within Canada.
