Mistakes hurt! They often make us feel embarrassed Mistakes hurt! They often make us feel embarrassed or guilty, but they are also valuable learning opportunities if we push through those feelings and reflect on what we can do differently in the future. ⁠ Ethically engaging means reciprocity, longevity, relationality, and respect.

Sometimes we are looking to skip ahead some steps to get to reparations, but we can't skip building good relations.⁠ ⁠ (content warning: residential schools) A recent example: many are sharing articles about residential schools with good intentions to amplify the truth, specifically the research with ground-penetrating radar. Indigenous folks have been asking for content warnings, but if you don't have good relations with Indigenous folks, or understand how important this ask is, how do you know better? Good relations need to come first, built on the principles of reciprocity.⁠ ⁠ *#NIHM2021 #NIHM #NationalIndigenousHistoryMonth

testimonials

As an international student, to be honest, I find it quite hard to follow the writing and thinking patterns in English, especially doing such a big project in the area of education. Your help means way more than editing, because you are my writing guru! You’ve helped me to make my project “shine.” – Xiaonuo (Nicole) Li 

After having to look at my thesis for two years straight there were multiple issues that needed correcting, as well as some errors that I simply did not see/was not aware of. Alicia caught these errors and helped correct the citation in my thesis so that it was concise and up to proper standards. I am happy to say that my thesis was approved for graduation without any citation or formatting errors! – Amabel D’Souza
