Black Allyship in Action

Build a shared understanding of Black History, workplace challenges, and systemic barriers our Black colleges face, and how to be an ally.

In this workshop, participants build shared language around anti-Black racism, identity, and intersectionality, then explore how bias shows up as barriers in workplace interactions and systems. Through discussion, reflection, and applied activities, learners move from awareness to action, equipping them with realistic behaviours to practice at the personal, team, and organizational level. Participants leave with clear next steps and an accountability plan to sustain allyship beyond the session.
