It’s Black History Month, and Toronto’s George Brown College has created a revolutionary campus initiative called Black Futures Initiative — dedicated to challenging the status-quo by addressing anti-Black racism and promoting Black Inclusion by building a safe campus environment for Black students, employees and their allies.
It also seeks to dismantle barriers that have historically harmed racialized students on college campuses, and this February it’s hosting a broad selection of exciting and inclusive events designed to do just that.
Its Black Futures Month programming aims to empower the Black student body to nurture meaningful relationships with peers and faculty members, providing an opportunity to educate and inform about Canadian Black history, innovation and excellence.
From an afternoon celebrating the talents of George Brown College’s culinary and beverage students from where they call home, to sessions where attendees can discuss the intersections of Blackness and disability, and weekly virtual screenings of “For The Culture,” a CBC series exploring the power of Black art, its eclectic array of informative and enjoyable offerings truly sets it apart.
