We understand the reality of being Black in Canada will include the experience of racism, discrimination and microaggressions. These experiences can be hurtful, discouraging, and confusing at times as all three are not always done in an overt way. Black advocacy will offer support and encouragement to other Black identified individuals that feel they require support while attending various appointments in the community. Our Black advocates are passionate, have lived experience and strive to uplift and strengthen the voices of our people in the Niagara Region.
