Muslim students speak out on layered discrimination in Winnipeg
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.

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.
