Background: The legacy and impact of organizations led by Black women in Canada
As an organization committed to women's leadership and economic empowerment, we could not imagine a better way to contribute Black History Month than to celebrate black women leaders.
"Through nearly 4 centuries in what is now Canada, Black women have shaped their own identities while taking decisive actions to advance the survival, preservation, and growth of countless families and communities across the country. As advocates and catalysts for change, Black women have created many important organizations that have advanced equity and human rights." Canadian Heritage
This event is designed to recognize and celebrate black women leaders and the invaluable contribution their leadership brings in our society.
Elevate International stands in solidarity with the Government of Canada’s 2026 Black History Month theme: “30 Years of Black History Month: Honouring Black Brilliance Across Generations — From Nation Builders to Tomorrow’s Visionaries.”
This Celebration unites leaders and community builders from every walk of life to celebrate the diversity and achievements of black people. In this historic moment, Elevate International also takes the opportunity to celebrate black women and honour the contributions of those who shape history and inspire the future.
Join us for a powerful celebration of Black History Month
Together, we can celebrate and elevate more black women leaders and the contribution they make in our society.
