Ms. Vicki Olatundun is a former criminal law attorney and a current Executive Director of a non-profit organization, who has recently taken to speaking to large groups of students about issues related to racism and discrimination in Canada. Thought provoking and motivational, Ms. Olatundun is an accomplished author and Tedx Speaker that provides immediate credibility and a wealth of experience to her presentations that help her connect with her audience and capture their attention. As a social justice warrior, Road Safety Ambassador and an advocate for human equity, Ms. Olatundun has a genuine love for life and people – both of which come through in her speeches as she is driven to challenge conventional thinking and improve people’s lives. She always says that her goal is to become a “people millionaire,” which is to say, she wants to touch one million lives with her life’s work. We would hasten to add that Ms. Olatundun is a wife, a mother to teenagers, and a firm believer in the power of family.
At Holy Spirit Catholic Elementary school, we were seeing issues crop up among our student body related to racism and misconceptions centred on appropriate language respecting the dignity of others. With all that is happening in the world today, you would agree that it is more important than ever that students are provided clarity on these issues to help them navigate today’s society with sensitivity and understanding. Ignorance and unintentionality are no longer an acceptable justification for hurtful comments or jokes. Through Ms. Olatundun, we were able to inform students and provide them a comfortable and safe environment to ask challenging questions.
We recognize that building a truly more inclusive society is a long-term goal that doesn't change overnight -- but allying with a gifted speaker such as Ms. Olatundun has proved extremely beneficial to our effort. Therefore, we bring her to your attention and hope that you may consider inviting her to speak at your school this year...
