Friday, February 04, 2022 | | | Stories from our community | | | | |  | | | | The digital series Leading Black Voices Ottawa kicks off this week with the theme “My Immigrant Journey.” We’re showcasing the stories and journeys of men and women in Ottawa who overcame challenges as newcomers and pursued opportunities in an effort to create a legacy — paving their own way as well as the way for future generations.
Each week we will highlight a new theme — watch for Health Care and Wellness, STEM or Urban Planning.
Read more on who these leaders are, what they do, who inspires them and their vision for Ottawa’s Black-Canadian community.

Sparking discussions from a grass roots level to broad sweeping issues, we want to hear from the everyday thought leaders in healthcare, technology, urban planning, or those who have an important immigration story to share.
