Hello everyone! KMFW wants to wish a Happy Easter to all our Christians Easter is a very significant day in Christianity and is the foundation of the Christian faith. Jesus, the Son of God, fulfilled the prophecy and through his death, has given the gift of eternal life in heaven to those who believe in his death and resurrection. Remembering the resurrection of Jesus is a way to renew daily hope that we have victory over sin. Hallelujah, he is risen! ... #Easter #EasterSunday #KMFW #religion #prayer #community #nonprofitorganization

HAPPY FAMILY DAY With Love from all of us at KMFW We believe that family are people who care about you, and that families are diverse and this brings out the true definition of the word, family. ... At KMFW, we are family to many children, youth, adults and seniors in our community. Therefore, we are dedicating this poem to you, our family!! Family Means Different Things By Kelly Roper Family means different things to different people. To some, family means mom, dad and the kids. To others, family means single parents doing the job of two to make a home. To some, family means living with grandparents too. To others, family is the aunt or uncle who has stepped up to fill in for parents. To some, family means two moms or two dads growing a family together. To others, family means two people multiplying their love through adoption. To some, family is limited to blood relations. To others, family includes friends who are there through thick and thin. To some, family is all about the people in their lives. To others, pets are considered family members too. Yes, family means different things to different people, But every family has one thing in common, and that's love. Thank you Rachel, Oke and Efe for sharing this amazing photo with us at KMFW.

Happy Friday Happy Spring Credit ... @kylee_afro_dance @djkaywise & @phynofino

Flash Back to last year's Bring on the Sunshine event @botsunshine Counting down to Bring on the Sunshine 2021! Did you get your ticket yet? ... Photo: Local Black authors Grace Ibrahima, Angela Charles and Peggy Plet

Hello everyone! Happy Wednesday Too often we as Canadians look to our southern neighbours and compare their legacy of racial injustices to our progressive nation. We need to stop doing this and come to terms with the fact that Canada has its own history of racial inequality that continues to impact the lives of racialized people today. So, let’s talk about BLACK Canadian history, the reality of racial segregation in Canada and Viola Desmond. ... #blackhistorymonth #violadesmond #KMFW #blackempowerment #community #nonprofit #blackexcellence #segregation #history

Good Morning everyone and thank you @kwlittlefreediverselibraries for the feature Repost: As we work on compiling book lists for the ten Little Free Diverse Libraries we're building for Kitchener’s Ward 8 (coming this spring!), we have been asking local community builders and changemakers: What books by racialized authors have been meaningful or life changing for you? ... Ajirioghene Evi-Cobbinah is the executive director of Kind Minds Family Wellness, a local non-profit that provides Black-centred programming for youth through seniors via counselling, advocacy, educational groups and more. "As a child, I was introduced to my first book by Chinua Achebe (Things Fall Apart) and we enacted several of the scenes at school plays. When I was in Nigeria and a freshman at the University of Lagos, we relied on Things Fall Apart for inspiration around our spoken words/presentations. The first book by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie that I read was 'Americanah' and I read it as a new comer/international student to Canada. I still have these in my book collections!" Check out these amazing books! #KMFW #nonprofit #activism #advocacy #community #littlefreelibrary #blackhistorymonth Reposted from @kind.minds.family.wellness

Kwanzaa is an African-American celebration of life from 26 December to 1 January. Quick facts: The greetings during Kwanzaa are in Swahili. Swahili is a Pan-African language and is chosen to reflect African Americans' commitment to the whole of Africa and African culture rather than to a specific ethnic or national group or culture. Please visit the official website for Kwanzaa to get more information: www.officialkwanzaawebsite.org ... Happy Kwanzaa from all of us at KMFW
