Sadia Anwar and Dieulita Datus are the founders of UBUNTU.

Our story begins through shared experience.

As two women of colour on the prairies, we know first hand the impacts of racism and discrimination.

We met working in the community, often finding ourselves as the only people of colour at meetings and events. Immediately we both recognized the willingness in each other to speak truth to the powers that be.

We became increasingly engaged in many crucial conversations in community and local institutions and began actively organizing – from Women’s Day marches, International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination at the Red Deer school, and more recently Black Lives Matter rallies in Stettler, Innisfail, Lacombe, and Red Deer.

In Central Alberta, there is a huge need to critically address and engage in Anti-Racism and Anti-Oppression work in communities and municipalities using reciprocal and relational approaches in collaborating with Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour (BIPOC).

In power, we are taking positive action and have thus created UBUNTU.

At UBUNTU, we are committed to doing the hard work of disrupting power dynamics at the root of systemic racism and colonialism and amplifying the voices of marginalized communities, with a particular focus on youth and women of colour.

Relationship-building drives our work, and our distinct approach is based on our experiences, learnings, and living our everyday truths. We are willing to step out of our comfort zones and anxieties, engage in extremely tough discussions, while centering ourselves as spiritual beings in a human experience.

In respecting our roots, we are free to create the change we want. And as changemakers, we were not willing to wait for a challenge to come to us, we decided to challenge ourselves…we formed UBUNTU.

Through education, advocacy, and community building, UBUNTU is helping lay the groundwork for equitable, just, and vibrant communities in Central Alberta.

Dieulita Datus believes smart and sustainable change starts with simple conversations and strives to always make a seat at the table for others to share their stories and experiences.

Born in Haiti and raised in The Bahamas, Dieulita now calls Central Alberta home. Dieulita understands the trauma of being an immigrant child all too well and she continues to be vocal about the Haitian community in the Bahamas for rights to education and housing.

Dieulita was one of the organizers of the Red Deer Women’s March 2020, an initiative that she would like to see become a major event every year. She serves on the board of Affirm of St. Andrews United Church, which focuses on making changes in faith based organizations. Dieulita recently joined the board of the Centre for Peace and Justice and is excited to be using her voice in these spaces to amplify the voices of others.

“If they don’t give you a seat at the table, bring a folding chair” is a quote by Shirley Chisholm that Dieulita has made her own. She has been featured on multiple news networks and profiled in national articles across Canada.

Sadia Anwar’s parents migrated to Canada as refugees. The word refugee comes from the word refuge – “the state of being sheltered from pursuit, danger or difficulty”. As a young child, Sadia faced intense challenges – overcoming trauma, learning to live in a new culture, experiences of discrimination. She gained fresh insight into the world, learned resiliency and became an activist, fueled by ambition to defend her rights and the rights of others.

Sadia is deeply invested in her community and is humbled to be involved with progressive organizations and initiatives in Red Deer and Alberta, including the Welcoming and Inclusive Communities of Red Deer (Co-Chair 2018), Rotary District 5360 Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Chair, Chair for the Alberta Association of Multicultural Education (AAME), Vice-Chair at YOUTH HQ, and Member of the Alberta Hate Crimes Committee and sits on the Red Deer Local Immigration Partnership Advisory Board.

Sadia is a Canadian Certified Inclusion Professional (CCIP™) with the Canadian Centre for Diversity and Inclusion. Sadia is an activist, experienced facilitator, inclusion strategist, community builder, and a lifelong learner. Sadia’s goal for her work is to build more resilient, just, and equitable communities, working in allyship and solidarity.

Currently, Sadia works at the Central Alberta Sexual Assault Support Centre (CASASC), where she manages the Police, Court, and Community Support program. She approaches her work through an intersectionality framework and is passionate about connecting people of all backgrounds – women, men, gender nonconforming people, Indigenous peoples and immigrants, people of diverse faiths, abilities, and ages. Sadia is a certified facilitator for First Responder to Sexual Assault and Abuse Training™ with Association of Alberta Sexual Assault Services (AASAS).

UBUNTU’s goal is to help build capacity for organizations and communities to create just, equitable, and inclusive environments through workshops, projects, and community building with a focus on Anti-Racism, Anti-Oppression, and Human Rights. We work in collaboration, partnership, and in solidarity with grassroots, local Black, Indigenous, People of Colour (BIPOC) led organizations. Supporting each other, sharing knowledge, and building relationships is at the heart of racial justice work.

Our aim is to help participants learn to value diversity, communicate across differences, and transform injustices – in communities, organizations, and at the dinner table.

Training in Dinner Table Dialogues will help teach you to facilitate conversations in the every day – with family, friends, faith groups, small groups and around any dinner table.

How to be any ally – in this workshop, we explore:
- Understanding about what an Ally is and why they’re important
- How to follow BIPOC leadership, work toward collective goals, and how to take action

What if I Was Wrong Campaign around five main themes (resources created by, Centre for the Prevention of Radicalization Leading to Violence)
- I Don’t Belong Here – Feeling excluded
- One Vision for All – Dogmatic Vision
- Us Against Them – Polarization of beliefs
- They’re All The Same – Stereotyping the Other
- That’s None of My Business – Indifference

How do our various group identities shape us as individuals?
What part do culture and history play in the formation of our individual and collective identities?
How do our intersecting identities shape our perspectives and the way we experience the world?

Anti-Oppression

Diving into the world of anti-racism for the first time can be confronting. It may feel challenging to understand your place and where to begin with educating yourself. We are here to walk alongside you on this journey to help you learn about anti-racism work, dismantle the unconscious biases that exist within yourself, and take action to create a more just society. We offer resources, workshops, and how to create calls to action.
We create safe spaces for dialogue and discussion as we explore different forms of racism, understanding racism, suggestions about more community based anti-racism campaigns and strategies that can be used in our schools, workplaces, neighbourhoods and associations to encourage respect for cultural differences and human rights.There is a lot to learn and un-learn — consider this part of our lifelong journey of anti-racism. Let’s get started!

Ubuntu – the essence of being human. Ubuntu speaks particularly about the fact that you can’t exist as a human being in isolation. It speaks about our interconnectedness. You can’t be human all by yourself, and when you have this quality – Ubuntu – you are known for your generosity. We think of ourselves far too frequently as just individuals, separated from one another, whereas you are connected and what you do affects the whole World. When you do well, it spreads out; it is for the whole of humanity. I am what I am because of who we all are.

— Desmond Tutu
