Our Story
A Tale of Sisterhood
When African Women Talk (WAWT) began with a simple yet powerful idea: to create a community where Black women in Canada could find strength in each other’s stories, perspectives, and experiences. What started as a conversation has grown into a dynamic platform, uniting Black women across diverse backgrounds to inspire, empower, and build each other up.
We are dedicated to empowering Black women across Canada. By recognizing our strength, resilience, and unique identities, WAWT challenges stereotypes, breaks down barriers, and promotes equality and justice.
Our vision is rooted in the belief that every Black woman deserves to be seen, heard, and celebrated. As we’ve grown, so has our commitment to creating spaces where our voices can thrive and influence. From events to workshops, publications to advocacy, When African Women Talk is dedicated to amplifying Black women’s contributions to society, while addressing the unique challenges we often face.
At our core, we’re driven by a mission to break down stereotypes, challenge biases, and champion the issues that matter most to Black women. We work to foster solidarity, unity, and self-discovery, knowing that a stronger community means greater opportunities for all. By bringing Black women together, we create a powerful network where shared experiences ignite real change.
Our goals are simple but bold: to provide support, build networks, and encourage meaningful conversations that lead to growth, visibility, and advancement.
As we move forward, we’re excited to continue expanding our reach, strengthening our impact, and, most importantly, celebrating the vibrant contributions of Black women across Canada.
