Our Story: Empower Black Youth, Transform Black Communities
Over the past decade, our founder has worked as a community organizer, educator, and advocate for Black communities across the country. He has consistently centred his work on uplifting the voices of those who have historically been silenced by anti-Blackness, relentlessly working to dismantle all forms of violence and hate within and towards the Black community. All of this work has always been built on the belief that change is the product of many small choices over time.
As a community organizer, he noticed a few things:
There must be opportunities for Black communities to connect with nature and the outdoors.
There must be more conversations surrounding decolonization and Black liberation that do not only center white allyship and experiences.
There must be Black spaces centred on radical joy.
There must be spaces for Black communities to connect with Indigenous and other racialized communities.
Color In Practice was born out of a desire to address these issues. The decision to focus on Black youth empowerment is based on a simple idea, when you empower Black youth, you transform Black communities for generations to come.
