We celebrate and continue to learn of the many milestones, achievements and contributions from the Black community that have shaped Canadian history. It’s also crucial to acknowledge that there is still much work to be done in dismantling anti-Black racism and oppression.
At Black Creek Community Farm, we stand committed to addressing systemic issues and fostering an inclusive environment where every individual feels seen, heard and valued. This work extends beyond the month of February. Anti-Black racism continues to persist, deeply ingrained in the fabric of our society, in a country built on Indigenous displacement and the exploitation of people of African descent.
Our work is not merely to acknowledge an ongoing history, but also to actively address systems of anti-Black racism, and carve out spaces for self-determination, growth and Black joy.
Black joy is not merely an expression of happiness; it is an act of resistance. It centers around the vibrant celebrations, and moments of wellness and rest, for Black people despite the many layers of oppression that Black communities experience globally and daily. The emphasis on Black joy is found in the strength, the vibrant culture, the fellowship and resilience in the Black community. It uplifts and fosters a sense of hope and optimism.
BCCF wants to call you in to check out, learn about and support B3 organizations (Black-led, Black-focus, and Black-serving), listed below, that have been tirelessly doing this vital work and paving the way for a more equitable society.
Together, let us embrace the joy, celebrate the resilience, and build a future where every voice is heard and every individual is valued.
This Black History Month and beyond, let us stand united in our commitment to create a world where Black joy knows no bounds.
