M21 is the U.N. International day for the elimination of racial discrimination. We had an event at UVic. Here are some photos. The panel was on sexual identity and it’s various intersections with racial identity. This event was organized SOCC but antidote was co-organizing or perhaps endorsing it. Uh. We partnered with SOCC.
On Wednesday June 16th, antidote held an interracial coffee house at Camas bookstore in Quadra Village. This was a great night of discussion on interracial identity and relationships. In addition, each participant was able to make a quilt square, which will be featured on a quilt in September for Interracial families day.

Thanks to everyone for joining us at Soumya’s place to bid Manjeet farewell. She has been an amazing executive director to antidote and will be sorely missed. We wish her all the best in her future endeavors!

Our Community Forum 2009 was a huge success. Held at the Victoria Events Centre on October 8th, 2009, there were approximately 150 people in attendance. The event included a silent auction, a loonie auction and soft launch of our girl produced documentaries!!! We danced the night away to some live drumming beats!
