We feel the same longing for a place that’s about Black Canadians.

An Embrace

We’re here to embrace, challenge, and celebrate the beautiful diversity of Black Canada and to acknowledge our place within the Black Diaspora.

An Exploration

We explore the histories and present of Black Canadian academia, art, beauty, clothing, culture, film, food, health, personal care, and more.

An Education

We’re here with an educated eye, a playful heart, and a critical mind to examine the fertile ground where the academic meets the popular for all things Black Canada.
