The Nikki Clarke Show with Nicholas Thompson on Instagram Live!

Nikki Clarke Network 4 years ago

The Nikki Clarke Show is transforming lives, one story at a time.

Nicholas Marcus Thompson is an award-winning social justice advocate and labour union leader in Canada. As the first Black Canadian to be elected as president of the Union of Taxation Employees (UTE) Toronto North, Nicholas is committed to finding solutions and using his platform to eliminate anti-Black racism and discrimination of all kinds to promote equity, job security, and ensure fairness for all Canadians.

As President of UTE Toronto North, Nicholas embarked on an ambitious plan to modernize and restructure the day to day operations of the Union. By developing a roadmap to digitize UTE unionism called Vision 2021, he created a more responsive and modern Union that is better able to adapt to rapid changes in the workplace while providing much more access to its membership. These efforts resulted in workers having better access to the supports needed to advance their careers through enhanced job security, and the overall empowerment of Union members to foster a collective voice at work.

In 2019, Nicholas won the Don Valley East candidacy nomination for the federal New Democratic Party of Canada, making him the first Black candidate to ever secure the nomination in that riding. He went on to campaign for increased affordability, green new jobs, universal pharmacare, and action on climate change – securing 4,591 votes and placing third in a six-way race.

In January 2020 Nicholas was named the Activist of the Year by the Public Service Alliance of Canada in Toronto. This prestigious award is presented to individuals who work tirelessly to unite all workers in a single democratic organization. The recipients are also recognized for their efforts to obtain the best standards of compensation, job security, and their commitment to protecting the rights and interests of all workers.

Nicholas is fighting for a new Canada where people can retire securely, find affordable housing that meets their needs, and be part of a climate change action plan that won’t leave workers behind. Nicholas is committed to forging a future where systemic anti-Black racism ceases to be a barrier that limits the potential and excellence of Canada’s Black communities.

The Nikki Clarke Show with Alicia Vianga on Instagram Live !

Nikki Clarke Network 4 years ago

The Nikki Clarke Show is transforming lives, one story at a time.

Alicia is a big-hearted entrepreneur who combines her expertise in trend forecasting, bra and breast prosthesis fitting, and fashion knowledge to give women in Toronto an authentic and educational shopping experience.
Before starting her journey into entrepreneurship and advocating for women who have battled breast cancer, Alicia spent over 19 years in hospitality. As a catering and sales specialist in the industry, she had the opportunity to work for esteemed organizations such as the University of Toronto, Hotel Plaza II, and the Marriott Hotel Bloor Yorkville. While she attributes her business savvy to her experiences in the hospitality industry, Alicia knew she was meant to start her own business and fill a niche many women didn’t know existed. This led Alicia to found Premier Jour Lingerie and Swimwear, a boutique that provides its customers with unique lingerie and swimwear as well as certified bra and breast prosthesis fittings.
Since starting her business Alicia has been sought out for her expert bra fitting skills and knowledge. From befuddled husbands shopping for a loved one, to the readers of her blog for the Huffington Post and Revive Magazine, people are hungry for her specialist opinions. One of Alicia’s biggest and most interactive audiences has been held at Dundas Square where she gave a bra fitting workshop for over 1,000 women.
Alicia and her company Premier Jour have been featured as a pre and post breast augmentation bra fitter on Hollywood’s 10 Best This Week, Entertainment Tonight Canada, CFRB 1010, Rogers Day Time TV, Weddingbells Magazine, Toronto Star, Slice TV’s Plastic Makes Perfect, LOVE INC, Jeanne Beker Post News, SNAP Magazines, and Avenue Magazine. Premier Jour was also voted the Best of the Best Readers Choice Lingerie Boutique in 2012, 2014, 2015, 2016.
Alicia strongly believes in giving back to the community. She is an active board member of the Corso Italia BIA, whose goal is to preserve and promote the beautiful neighbourhood of St. Clair West in Toronto. Alicia also supports non-profit events such as The Jeanne Lottie Pink Bedroom Party, and Covenant House-Celebrate Mom.
Alicia, in conjunction with Premier Jour, was asked to review the official Bra and Breast Prosthesis Fitting Guide for a major hospital chain in Toronto. Through this affiliation with the Hospital, Alicia identified a major gap in the health care system; there is no program that provides necessities for women who have battled breast cancer who are financially strained. It was this realization that encouraged Alicia to found after BREAST CANCER, a charity that provides resources that contribute to a woman’s Quality of Life (QOL) after breast cancer with the aimed at ensuring survivors of breast cancer lacking financial means have access to necessities such as bras and/or prosthesis. Alicia understands that when women move from breast cancer patients to breast cancer survivors, the world is a different place for them. Obtaining properly fitted prostheses and bras enables survivors to begin their journey to regain their self-confidence and restore their feeling of being whole again.
after BREAST CANCER was launched on October 14, 2012, during Breast Cancer Awareness Month at a Toronto Argos Game. The charity has been featured in Toronto Is Awesome, OMNI Television’s Culture Avenue, Samaritan Magazine, Girls of T.O, Urban Moms, CP24 Breakfast, and Global News’ Susan Hay Making a Difference segment.
Along with founding after BREAST CANCER, Alicia is also the creator of Bras for Congo, a charitable organization that accepts donated bras which are then given to women in the Congo. Each year, Alicia accepts hundreds of bra donations from the public to distribute to hospitals in the Congo.
Alicia is a socially responsible, passionate, and determined businesswoman and she lives her life trying to make a difference…one BRA/ one WOMAN/ one SURVIVOR at a time.
