Positive news: Talisha Ramsaroop, change-maker


As the days roll by, and the realities of September set in a great mass of students across the Toronto and the GTA will be going back to school.  So many wonderful things can happen in school, which is a place where the imagination can be sparked and students begin to understand themselves, peers, and the world in a more engaged manner.  Unfortunately, the "violence of low expectations," something Talisha talks about in this article, can afflict a number of students, particularly those who are marginalized and discriminated against.  This article presents Talisha's vision for a community she grew up in and a lot of inspirational energy, which I am grateful for.
