The Unfair & Lovely Podcast

Hi my name is Chand Bhangal and I am a content creator and community event organizer from the Greater Toronto Area (GTA).

I founded the Unfair & Lovely Club back in 2021 and it was a 10 week program that would inspire, educate and empower the participants. We did meet virtually on a weekly basis however I am transitioning to podcast!

If you have ever experienced colourism, YOU ARE NOT ALONE!! So if you're curious to hear my story, want to meet individuals who are taking up space or want to be a part of a community that is working towards tackling societal issues like colourism, let's heal together.

I am passionate about education, decolonization, community development, project management, anti-oppression, and trauma informed work.

I am also a Peer Champion for the Ontario Council of Immigrants Serving Immigrants (OCASI) and I work with them to raise awareness about gender based violence. The reason why I do my work is because I want women in the Peel Region to feel supported, celebrated and acknowledged.

Land Acknowledgment:

I would like to acknowledge that I have had the pleasure to take up space in and build safe spaces for BIPOC in the Region of Peel, which is a part of the Treaty Lands and Territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit. For thousands of years, Indigenous peoples have inhabited Turtle Island and continue to care for it. However not only is acknowledgment important it is important to educate ourselves and show solidarity.

How can you support?

Please make sure to check out these amazing organizations that are doing the work while taking up space.

@torontoindigenousharmreduction

Toronto Indigenous Harm Reduction (TIHR) emerged in April 2020 during the first wave of the COVID19 pandemic in response to a massive shutdown of frontline services and a lack of basic needs for Indigenous houseless folks in the city of Toronto. To date we have served over 3,000 meals to the encampments and Indigenous street folks.

@nwrct

The Native Women’s Resource Centre of Toronto (NWRCT) began when a dedicated group of Indigenous women recognized the need for a gathering place in Toronto where Indigenous women could share resources, support one another, and practice their traditional ways. In 1985, this vision resulted in the downtown basement office that affectionately became known as “The Pit.” Today, the Native Women’s Resource Centre of Toronto provides a safe and welcoming environment for all Indigenous women and their children in the Greater Toronto Area.

@cheekbonebeauty

In January of 2015, Jenn Harper (Founder) had the most vivid dream of little Indigenous girls covered in lip glosses. That dream is what gave birth to Cheekbone Beauty, the very first Indigenous-owned and founded cosmetics company. Cheekbone’s aim is to make a difference in the lives of Indigenous youth through donations that support educational opportunities for them, and to create a space in the beauty industry where everyone, including Indigenous people, feel represented and seen.
