Zuri Toppin
Teacher in The unceded traditional territories of the Musqueam, Squamish, Tsleil-waututh, Matsqui, Kwantlen, Katzie, and Semiahmoo First Nations.
Hello there! I am a life-long learner, an educator, a writer, a wellness advocate, a breast cancer thriver, and a self-professed shatterer of conventions. My written work has appeared in The Literary Review of Canada, Midnight & Indigo, The Writers’ Studio’s Emerge 15 and Caitlin Press’ Boobs: Women Explore What It Means To Have Breasts. I am a Grade 7 Humanities teacher, working daily to raise the collective identity-consciousness of the next generation. I live, work, and thrive on the unceded traditional territories of the Musqueam, Squamish, Tsleil-waututh, Matsqui, Kwantlen, Katzie, and Semiahmoo First Nations.
