Speakers

Annick Maugile Flavien

Annick Maugile Flavien is a PhD student at Concordia University, a Black community advocate, a mother, and a caregiver whose research explores Black community health in Montreal with a qualitative focus on the importance of the structures of care within Black homes as a determinant of overall Black community health.

She is a three time graduate of Concordia, founded the Black Perspectives Office, and served as a co-chair on for Concordia’s President’s Task Force on Anti-Black Racism. She is also the founder of the Nou Initiative which is a hub that looks at social disparities from a Black-centric perspective. ‘Nou’ is a Haitian Creole pronoun that roughly translates to us, we, and ours. 

Alysha Maxwell-Sarasua

Alysha Maxwell-Sarasua is a recent graduate from Concordia who is passionate about exploring new theories of care & healing while moving away from theories of domination & oppression. Decolonizing wellness is all about intentionally addressing systemic issues by creating new ways of belonging, healing, and connecting to each other.
