The IBWE aims to celebrate black women and their influence throughout different generations and act as a resource to meet the needs of black and mixed women from a Canadian standpoint.

The event studies the contributions of black and mixed women of the past and present who paved the way for empowerment.

The first edition will pay homage to Viola Desmond, a civil rights pioneer and the first black woman on a Canadian banknote.
