"#BlackInSchool is an insightful and important reflection of the realities Black youth face in the Canadian education system. Habiba Cooper Diallo gives voice to the so often silenced Black youth of our generation.” —Uzoma Asagwara, Manitoba NDP MLA and Activist

"Habiba Cooper Diallo is a brilliant writer and journalist. Through #BlackinSchool, she fearlessly asserts the humanity which systemic racism seeks to destroy. Her first-hand account of anti-Black racism in high school is a powerful and provocative act of resistance. Habiba is a writer to watch and #BlackinSchool is a book that should be on the curriculum in every high school in the country, every university for that matter!” —Shelagh Rogers, Canadian broadcast journalist and founding host/co-producer of CBC Radio One's The Next Chapter
