Special Edition of YOU GOOD FAM? With our good friends over at @justicefundto for their first interview with all 3 Founders Yonis (@_yonishassan) , Noah 40 Shebib (@ovo40) and Jermyn (@each1_teach1_j )
Justice Fund Toronto is a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting communities in conflict with the law through three strategic priorities; supporting community-led initiatives, reforming philanthropy and creating community infrastructure in the heart of downtown Toronto.
Justice Fund is dedicated to the social and economic wellbeing of communities within the GTA. Violence in Toronto continues to be an increasing challenge and youth who experience poverty are impacted more by this violence than any other demographic.
We are built on the belief that when provided with opportunities to thrive, under-resourced communities become less violent, thus breaking the cycle of conflict.
In this session we discussed their foundations rooted in community, youth work, music and philanthropy
Their perspective of violence in the city and dealing with grief
Practical ways in which the Justice Fund is creating meaningful opportunities for marginalized youths
Detailing how Charitable organizations are hoarding $85,000,000,000 ?? Wait what?!
40 shares a personal account of The healing powers of creative expression
And more!!

Tony Miller comes from a lineage of pioneers who have made significant contributions to Black Canadian History, identity and empowerment and he is here to preserve their forgotten story. We all heard of the underground railroad, the story of enslaved Africans seeking human dignity but who would ever think the underground railroad went as far north as Owen Sound, just under 3 hrs north of Toronto! Owen Sound is home to the longest running emancipation festival in NORTH AMERICA established in 1862, that's 159 years ago, literally older than "Canada." This festival by the way, was founded by Tony's great-grandfather!
Tony Miller is an accomplished storyteller, author and a two time cancer survivor who uses visual arts to activate ancestral memory and to facilitate thought provoking conversations on often difficult subject matters. He is currently working on a series called "Potter's Field" the story of over 2000 unmarked graves (mostly Black refugees that came through the underground railroad) to put faces and names to these stories. He also working on another wordless Novel (images only) that details the history of Negro Creek (formally called Nigger Creek) where over 100 Black Pioneers Lived.
