Our mission is to make Afrocentric reading and learning materials more accessible to Black communities across the Greater Toronto Area.
Disclaimer: We reserve memberships and spaces for Black community members to create a safe, supportive environment tailored to the Afro-Diaspora community's needs. Our mission is to offer Afrocentric resources to those impacted by slavery and colonization, promoting belonging and empowerment. We aim to fight anti-Black racism by providing resources to Black communities affected by racism and colonization.
