Students create online space to expose, address injustices in Canada

Nancy Tangon and Priscilla Ojomu, both psychology students, founded Canada Confesses, an anonymous online platform where people can safely share their experiences of racial and social injustice.

The platform, which officially launched in February 2021, assists in exposing injustices in Canada while also sharing and amplifying marginalised voices.

“We’re also trying to address people’s implicit biases, touching on topics that aren’t in people’s immediate consciousness – just promoting the conversation” Tangon

Canada Confesses also functions as an information network, linking grassroots organisations and providing resources for further research and social action.

It has so far connected more than 35 organizations across the country, with a volunteer staff of more than 40 – ranging from high school students to retired seniors who still want to make an impact – said Ojomu

One of our key messages is that there is power in your voice, in sharing stories and using resources to hold the government accountable, says Ojomu. “Apathy can be dangerous, especially in times like this.
