About us

Afropolitan Canada was founded in 2018 as Black-led bilingual grassroot organization to support and empower Black folks living in Canada in their professional and entrepreneurial journeys. Our mission is to empower Black people living in Canada with key competencies, mentorships, resources, and networks needed to succeed in the professional and entrepreneurial ecosystems. From learning workshops to powerful events, we have built a network of 3,000 folks across Canada and beyond borders who want to be part of a wealthy future. We fuel our communities with tools and resources to succeed professionally, financially and mentally.  We are committed to building a community driven organization that does not reduce our communities to issues requiring saviours so that they can report on the number of Black people that were impacted by their funding. No. At Afropolitan Canada, we are empowering Black and racialized women by providing them with the insights, the resources and networks to thrive. We are paving the way to de-stigmatize mental health once for all in the Black communities and we are finally making sure that more Black students get to pursue and finish their post-secondary education.
