About this Event
AFRO FACTS is a unique, interactive experience designed to bridge that gap, where History Meets Connection because Canadian Black History is a vibrant, complex, and essential tapestry yet it is often a subject approached with hesitation.
Lillah Penddah combines the power of gamification with the depth of Canadian Black History to create a learning environment that is as enlightening as it is engaging.
AFRO FACTS provides a brave, "fail-forward" space where participants can test their knowledge, confront the "unredacted" truth of our past—both the triumphs and the trials—and emerge with the tools needed to navigate uncomfortable conversations with respect, clarity and confidence. Utilizing the principle of curiosity over conflict, she creates an experience that is:
- Accountable, not accusatory.
- Emotionally intelligent and honest.
- Empowering, respectful, and transformative.
Be part of an interactive experience that shifts the weight of reconciliation from the individual to the collective and where accountability meets empathy. Let’s play, learn, and grow together in a space where curiosity is the only requirement.
Register now to be part of the shift.
