Within Gentle Teaching, we know that when we walk into someone’s presence, their home, or their life, we also walk into an entire lifetime of history and memories before us. We are honoured to enter into reciprocal and trusting relationships with the families and their loved ones that can call COR home 🏡

The 2025 theme for Black History Month is: “Black Legacy and Leadership: Celebrating Canadian History and Uplifting Future Generations.” This theme acknowledges the diversity of Black Canadians, the importance of Black leadership and the legacy being built for future generations. Black communities are diverse at many levels!

On this occasion, we had the pleasure of hearing @munadeciman story of immigration, resilience and how she’s giving back to the community.

Vinolia Apakoh, business owner of Akwaaba Foods, (and also an incredible presenter herself) catered the event!

We invite all Canadians to learn more about Black Canadian communities, and how they continue to help shape Canada.
