Podcast
Lillie Almond hosts a new
podcast asking people
how they feel about being
asked where they are from,
which, for people of colour,
can be a loaded question.
The first guest is the MP
David Lammy, pictured.
In Stolen — Surviving St
Michael’s (Spotify podcast),
Connie Walker unearths the
horrors of Canada’s homes
for indigenous children, of
which her late father had
personal experience.
