During her thesis research, Jean-Paul started the Educators of Colour Network, a grassroots organization that supports diversity in education by providing free professional development sessions. “The help we provide through the network draws upon what I learned in my time at UWinnipeg. My time in the Faculty of Education greatly informed who I am as an educator and as an individual.”
