Join us to network with Black and racialized female and non binary leaders from various sectors from Ontario and Quebec.
Let’s face it, our workplaces were not created for Black and racialized women to progress and thrive. Most of us are regularly harmed at work by microaggressions, overwork, limited career progression opportunities, and many other examples of systemic racism and discrimination.
The evening is designed to create safer spaces to connect, share experiences, build relationships as well as learn from industry leaders (professional starts, challenges (i.e. systemic racism, discrimination, and sexism), pivots, and lessons learned) during a panel discussion.
This event is hybrid, virtual participation available. All attendees will have an opportunity to network and participate during the evening
