With over a decade of dedicated service as a Military Chaplain at the Canadian Forces, my journey has been anchored in providing unwavering support and fostering inclusivity. My role has expanded to include co-chairing the Defence Team Black Employees Network, where we champion grassroots movements and work collectively to dismantle systemic racism within the Defence Team.Our efforts have culminated in the creation of nationally recognized programs that promote wellness and combat discrimination. As a volunteer mentor for black youth at Jaku Konbit, I leverage my expertise in building relationships and inclusive leadership to empower the next generation. It is here, through service and education, that we forge a path toward a more equitable future.
