Herstorically Speaking is an Instagram edu-series that excavates stories from historically underrepresented groups in Canada. The series started in 2020 as a set of Instagram posts and grew to include an accompanying podcast. Herstorically Speaking seeks to bring consciousness to stories through an anti-racist and anti-bias lens with the hope that with knowledge comes action. These informational posts have been used in classrooms across Canada by educators eager to subvert traditional colonial education norms.
The series started on my personal Instagram page @AlyssaGTyghter but is slowly migrating over it’s new home at @HerstoricallySpeaking.ca with a brand new look!
