Join The Students of Colour Collective, No White Saviors and SOVI for this timely panel discussion, which will break down the White Savior Complex, give strategies for meaningful allyship, and provide a forum for community discussion and collaboration.
This event’s panelists, Wendy, Olivia, and Kelsey, are members of the advocacy campaign No White Saviors. This session will be moderated by Michaella Shannon. This panel will be followed by an open question period for registered audience members.

Continued Programming:
New to our 2021 programming is SOVI’s Book Club. With it, we hope to create a community of conversation and learning on social justice issues, to promote social and structural change. Also, to build a network of peers, during a time when meaningful social interaction is scarce. While we’re encouraging youth engagement, all are welcome!
Our first book is the award-winning, The Skin We’re In, by Canadian activist and journalist Desmond Cole. We are eager to use this important text to learn, incite conversation and promote action.
