About this Event
You’re Invited: The Intersection LIVE featuring Jully Black
Every decision changes something. Join us for a special live podcast recording of The Intersection, hosted by Agapi Gessesse.
The Intersection explores the spaces where people sit between the systems, sectors, or worlds that meet through their work or influence. We start from a simple belief: cities, nations, and the world aren’t shaped by institutions alone, they're shaped by people making decisions at the moments where pressure, responsibility, and possibility meet.
The Episode: The Intersection of Influence and Integrity
For this live, in-person event, we are sitting down with Canadian music icon, community builder, and cultural disruptor, Jully Black.
This will not be a standard career retrospective. It is a high-level, grounded conversation exploring what happens when public platforms meet personal truth. We will unpack the moments where Jully used her voice to challenge national narratives, correct the system, and build tangible, empowering communities outside of traditional industry machinery.
Event Details:
• Date: May 5th
• Time: 6:00pm
• Location: Nia Centre for the Arts, 524 Oakwood Ave, Toronto, ON
