It’s been a heavy week so I decided to go for a walk downtown and time my 11 week old’s naptime with a solo meal at @northsideespresso. I was really excited to try the new chilli crunch chicken sandwich (it didn’t disappoint!). When I was wrapping up eating and trying to settle my daughter who woke up very hungry, I was informed that a stranger paid for my entire meal. They described themselves as a fellow mom who understood how hard it can be to get out and about in these early days. I am so moved by this incredibly kind and generous gesture and vow to make someone else’s day this week. They didn’t reveal themselves to me but if you’re reading this - thank you so so much!! I hope this example of an act of kindness restores your faith in humanity even a little bit. 🤎🤎🤎

I picked up @elamin’s book from @novelideakingston this weekend and can’t wait to read it. For those unfamiliar, Elamin came to Kingston from Sudan when he was twelve. This memoir is a reflection on his experience in Kingston as a young, Black immigrant. Lifted from the jacket: “His is a story of yearning to belong where expectations and assumptions around race, faith, language, and origin make such belonging difficult - but it’s also a story of surprising ways in which connection can be found.” As I’ve said in the past, these (previously) untold stories are so important to learn and give context to the history of our community. They teach us how to be better neighbours and community members. Congratulations, @elamin!
