ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
JAA CONSULTING was founded in Toronto (“Tkaronto”), which is the traditional territory of many nations, including the Mississauga, the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee, and the Wendat peoples. This is land is covered by the Toronto Purchase [Treaty 13] and was also used in the Trans-Atlantic slave trade.
Jessica Aviva Anderson, JAA Consulting's Founder and Principal, continuously works to recognize her power and privilege as a white woman, as well as express her gratitude for being able to live and work in Toronto today. Additionally, Jessica addresses how she is consciously and unconsciously complicit in white supremacy, colonialism, and other systems of oppression that have caused, and continue to cause, great harm.
JAA Consulting is committed to using anti-racism and anti-oppression approaches, a trauma-informed lens, the ongoing practice of decolonization, which prioritizes truth before reconciliation.
