About this event
In 2020, following the death of George Floyd, organizations across North America made commitments to increase the diversity of their workforce, create more inclusive environments, and help combat anti-Black racism. While some companies have made significant strides towards these promises, in general, the changes have been incremental at best.
In recognition of Black History Month, the IABC/Toronto Professional Independent Communicators are hosting a panel discussion to explore how communication professionals – working as independents, in-house or within agencies – can create a culture of conscious collaboration. What could it look like to go beyond a social media post in recognition of the month, and enact strategies that empower Black and racialized communication professionals?
The event will provide attendees with an opportunity to learn from the diverse experience of Black communication professionals across a range of industries, explore strategies for conscious collaboration, and network to create lasting connections.
Join us and explore strategies for combating anti-black racism in the communications industry through conscious collaboration!
