“Habiba Cooper Diallo is an extraordinary thinker and speaker whose perseverance and passion hints at a tremendous future in leadership. Her tireless work at the intersection of female health and Black youth education marks the first steps towards an exemplary career that will positively impact and surely inspire generations to come.”
 
– ​Sergio Elmir, Toronto Public Library, Senior Producer
Habiba Cooper Diallo spoke at our national virtual panel event during Black History Month. Drawing from her own research and experiences, she gave a powerful presentation on anti-Black racism, and how it manifests in education settings. She also highlighted key examples of Black resistance. Habiba is a talented and insightful speaker, and left event participants wanting to learn more.
– Shannon Giannitsopoulou, YMCA Canada, Manger, DEI
“In sharing her story, Habiba invited us to confront the legacies and contemporary manifestations of anti-blackness in our schools. She challenged us to think through our willingness and preparedness to go beyond facile inclusion attempts - to commit to removing the structural barriers to inclusion. Habiba showed us what’s possible when we educate justly.”
​
— Phiona Lloyd-Henry, Coordinating Principal, Peel District School Board

"Diallo's voice is fully realized, and it is the voice we need right now.”

"A critical perspective on anti-black racism in the education system from the people we need to hear from the most on this matter-Black students.”
