Modeste is a youth support worker, a proud father, and the National Policy & Grant Coordinator of We Matter. We Matter is a Canadian, Indigenous youth-led organization dedicated to Indigenous youth support, hope and life promotion.

In this episode, Modeste takes us on a journey through time, giving context for the challenges and crises faced by Indigenous youth, while encouraging listeners to explore We Matter's mental health resources, life promotion services, and its ambassadors of hope program. We end on an uplifting note as Modeste's describes his love for jigging, a traditional Indigenous-Metis form of dance that's fulfills his artistic, competitive, and cultural sides. We hope that our Xenolearners take a lot from this episode, and as We Matter would say, remember that you are AMAZING!

Ep. 9: Confronting Colonialism and its Consequences with We Slaves of Suriname
Rudy, Arantxa, Gilberto and Minke all participated in the Xenolearn Book Club Fundraiser for Nederland Wordt Beter. Together, we read "Wij Slaven van Suriname" (We Slaves of Suriname) by Anton de Kom. De Kom's book is an account of decolonial history, and reveals the experience of the oppressed across the Caribbean and adds to our understanding of struggles against slavery, imperialism and racism. In this round-table discussion, we discuss the story of Suriname and slavery, talk about our feelings reading the book, and connect the legacy of colonialism with systemic racism today. This episode is a fascinating glimpse into the power of dialogue and hearing different perspectives. You'll feel awakened and inspired to educate yourself, take action and discover how you can support BIPOC communities and help to dismantle systemic racism.
