Ase Community Foundation – Sitting in Limbo: Moving Beyond the Checkbox

​Black people with disabilities are visionaries, innovators, and changemakers whose expertise continues to drive progress across Canada’s workforce. Yet too often, these contributions are overlooked, and systemic anti-Black racism and ableism continue to push our community toward un/under-employment, precarious work, and financial instability.

​Change can not wait; it is time to move beyond awareness and into action.

​Join us for a dynamic panel and four interactive skill-building workshops as we collectively reimagine what a truly inclusive workforce can and should be. This event will be a space for:

• ​Leaders, Employers, and HR Professionals to develop practical, person-centred strategies to recruit, retain, and elevate Black disabled talent and build equitable workplaces where everyone can thrive

• ​Job Seekers, Employees, and Students to gain tools to map skills, build self-advocacy, and navigate accessibility and technology supports to stand out and grow their careers.
