Never forget that 2020 was the year that Black, Indigenous and otherwise racialized journalists in Canada stopped whispering and said it all out loud. In the order that I remember:

"Objectivity is a privilege afforded to white journalists," @Pacinthe on her time at CBC https://t.co/H3wiXbCQea
Imani Walker, while still at the CBC, takes on one of its biggest names https://t.co/aieiq49iXt
"For Black women in media, a 'dream job' is a myth," @KathleenNB on her time at CTV https://t.co/1HbxzniJDD
"Black Canadian voices are more visible now than ever — but will corporations act before this month’s motivation wanes?" @MorganPCampbell on his time at the Star https://t.co/K2YKJsWtcT
Here's Chatelaine Woman of the Year Christine Genier on her time at CBC, she read this live on air 🔥https://t.co/39D0qOZ9hl
Here's a looooong CBC post put together by @Ronna_Syed https://t.co/sRll65EdrH
TSN anchor @Kayla_Grey, another Chatelaine Woman of the Year,
broke so much ground and never backed down. https://t.co/0ZUfw2AHcs
Wow, there really is a lot. @stacyleekong I can't find yours!
Vice (@ManishaKrishnan) talked to @supriyadwivedi about her time at Corus https://t.co/mIaX1HtekQ
Here's me on my time at the Globe and Mail, which I couldn't have written without the support of everyone at @Chatelaine.

Gotta run, please add what I forgot, it all matters. Thank you all for all you've done and here's to keeping it up in 2021 🥂https://t.co/37WPcyZNr3
