Muslim students speak out on layered discrimination in Winnipeg - The Projector
Aishah Adewale never thought she’d be called a slur while biking through the city—an experience she’d only heard and seen in movies back home.
“I didn’t know what to think of it. I felt bad,” Adewale said.
The 20-year-old Data Science and Machine Learning student said she was used to colourism back in her home country, Nigeria, but she was surprised to face discrimination in Canada.
About 73 per cent of women experience Islamophobia both in public spaces and in school, according to a r...

‘It was taken from us’: Winnipeg powwow dancer reconnecting to culture - The Projector
Marcus Daniels quietly slips into his blue and red beaded chest piece with yellow fringes swaying on its edges, at the back row of the drum and chant-filled RBC Convention Centre.
His regalia tells the story of many, and was passed down from his uncle—someone who is kind and what he aspires to be, he told The Projector.
Daniels, 18, performed a war dance with his drum group during the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation Day (TRC) on Sept. 30 at the RBC Convention Centre.

Grounds worth gathering for
The hands that serve and the people who brew Mexican coffee are what make it distinctly Mexican, Carla Miranda Hernández says.
Hernández is the daughter of the owner of La Panadería bakery at 218 Princess St. They serve café de olla, a traditional Mexican coffee drink. It’s usually made in a clay pot with cane sugar, cloves, cardamom, cinnamon, orange peel and coffee grounds and is constantly boiling all day.

Baybayin in Winnipeg: A stroke of heritage
Baybayin, a pre-colonial Filipino writing system, is resurfacing in Canada. Baybayin comes from the Tagalog root word baybay, which means “to spell.” Regarded as decorative and non-functional for everyday use back in mainland Philippines, it now acts as a tool for Filipino Canadians to close the gap of disconnect from their homeland.
There are currently approximately 80,000 Filipinos in Winnipeg, according to Statistics Canada. Within the community, there are diasporas, including Canadian-born...

Waiting, walking, and transferring: new Winnipeg Transit system - The Projector
Many Winnippegers stare down the road before retreating back to their phones to check where their bus is.
The new spine-feeder system will have stops coming from outside the city, which will carry people toward the main bus routes – called ‘spine’ – allowing them to transfer, according to the City of Winnipeg’s website. The system was said to be quicker, simpler, and reliable due to fewer stops. The change took effect on June 29.
“I find it irritating,” said William (BJ) Canard, who is bl...
