S03 E041: TRUE Experience of Black Women in Canada with Maggie John
Join journalist and tv host Maggie John discussing systemic racism in Canada on our ongoing “True” series of conversations recorded live via Zoom with the Gather Women community.
Maggie John is the host and producer of the weekly television show “Context Beyond the Headlines”, and has been a national producer, field reporter, and TV host for more than 15 years. She covers a vast array of local, national and international stories – reporting on some of the biggest news events of our day – from the 9/11 terrorist attacks, Hurricane Katrina in 2005, the 7.0 magnitude earthquake that rocked Haiti in 2010 – to the historic story of Uganda recovering from years of war.
As former host on the longest-running Canadian daily talk show, 100 Huntley Street, Maggie interviewed a wide variety of guests – people from all walks of life like those making a difference in their communities, authors, victims of crime, actors, filmmakers, directors, thought leaders, politicians, and musicians.
Maggie is most proud of the work she does with the charity she founded in 2013 called, The Baby Depot, which helps fight child poverty in the Hamilton area. She also serves as chair-person for The Meeting House Family of Churches, and is also a member of GEM’s Girls Club Board of Directors.
Maggie is the proud mother of Ethan and Joshua, and wife to her amazing husband Elton.
