There are many Black entrepreneurs and businesses in Toronto, but how many have you visited or worked with?

Meet Kerin John, Black business activist and founder of @BlackOwned.TO, a space created to support and showcase Black-owned businesses.

Kerin will talk about how the @BlackOwned.TO community grew to have over 61.7k followers, how you can support Black-owned businesses (and discover new ones to check out), and how supporting Black-owned businesses goes beyond economic reasons.

Kerin will appear in conversation with Casey Palmer, a Toronto-based storyteller, who actively shares his fatherhood journey and adventures with his urban family in various ways through Canada’s digital landscape.

This event is part of our Live & Online series and is the virtual version of our Small Business programming. This Small Business program is supported by Shopify.
