Breaking the Cycle Conference

Future Black Female is hosting a two-day conference, Breaking the Cycle, dedicated to deepening understanding and driving meaningful change in how Black children experience the Canadian school system.

Day Two is a free event which centers the voices and experiences of Black families, equipping them with knowledge and strategies to advocate for their children’s educational success. It will explore the challenges Black students face and the systemic barriers that affect their learning journeys.

• Connect with local opportunities for engagement, such as the Equity and Inclusion Community Advisory Committees.
