Our inaugural episode I Dream As A Mother features Aisha Kiani, founder of I Dream Library. Aisha's reluctance to accept the limited range of books in their son Rakim’s school library and their family’s experience with systemic racism in the school community led to the creation of I Dream Library, a collection of books and educational tools.

In I Dream As A Mother, Christine reflects on the value of literature to educate and holistically reflect colonized communities. Aisha’s story is about community learning and leadership as well as an unexpected opportunity from Yoko Ono. 

VancouverMom.ca's As A Mother Series is partially funded by a Government of Canada Heritage grant, which supports communities through arts and heritage and is made possible in part by the Government of Canada. All episodes are thoughtfully recorded and produced by Kahani Pictures and hosted by VancouverMom.ca founder Christine Pilkington.
