A Discussion with Rawlson King: Exploring Ottawa’s Anti-Racism Strategy and the Importance of Civic Engagement
Description
We are excited to share that Diversonomics is back with our hosts Phedely Ariste and Gladys Osien.
In the first episode of this season, Ottawa City Councillor Rawlson King joins our co-hosts for an engaging discussion about the City’s first Anti-Racism Strategy approved by Ottawa City Council in 2022. The conversation focuses on the grassroots efforts to develop and implement the strategy, the importance of civic engagement and the collective ability to advocate for meaningful change.
King is Ottawa’s first Black city councillor and is the liaison for the City’s Anti-Racism and Ethnocultural Relations initiatives. A strong believer in public service, King previously served as president of the Overbrook Community Association and was the first co-chair of the Ottawa Police Service Community Equity Council.
