A terrible legacy and one that has had ripple effects. We hold space today and always for our Indigenous clients, colleagues, friends, and community members.
At Blossom, part of our anti-oppressive values include acknowledging the impacts of systemic racism and fighting racism generally. This means actively engaging in truth and reconciliation. We are educating ourselves about Indigenous people, their cultures, their history and past and present injustices. We also engage in sharing and supporting Indigenous voices, values, art and teachings. This will be a life-long process of unlearning, relearning and questioning our own privileges and world views.
When we stared Blossom Counselling Centre in 2020, we were already immersed in anti-oppressive teachings and one thing we knew was important was redistributing wealth. This is a privilege and we believe in challenging the capitalist and settler mentality that we aren't supposed to share with our community or that we are entitled to more than someone else. Since 2020, we have been donating part of our profits to initiatives lead by marginalized communities, including various Indigenous organizations. We've also supported Indigenous makers and artists personally and professionally. It's a small way we can engage in active allyship and we do so in solidarity.
