The striking cover of Chatelaine’s September/October issue features Cityline’s Tracy Moore, photographed by Alicia Wynter and created by an all-Black team. In the issue, Moore shares her perspectives on systemic racism, anti-Blackness and the importance of speaking out.

“This is not about me. This is a community situation and as a member of the human race, you should be appalled,” says Moore, interviewed by journalist Tayo Bero. The interview headlines a package that highlights the work of Black Canadians from various communities who are raising the volume on the conversation about systemic racism in this country—including bookstore owner Itah Sadu, doctor Onye Nnorom, writer Robyn Maynard and advocate Reakash Walters.

The package also comes with a commitment from Chatelaine. “On June 2, like millions of others who were horrified by the deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and Ahmaud Arbery, Chatelaine participated in Blackout Tuesday,” says Maureen Halushak, editor in chief. “But we didn’t want it to be an empty gesture.” And so, for the past few months, the editorial team has been thinking about the writers they work with, the stories they tell and the visuals they use.

“As a first step, we are committing to ensuring that 40 percent of our freelance content is produced by Black writers, Indigenous writers and writers of colour,” says Halushak. “But our commitment doesn’t end there. We also want to create inclusivity guidelines when it comes to the experts our writers interview, the visuals we use, the women we feature and the stories we tell.” (Read more about how the team is creating a more inclusive Chatelaine here.)
