In 2021, the University of Alberta's Business Students Association held a panel discussion with Black entrepreneurs in the Edmonton area, most of whom were alumni. The entrepreneurs shared a commonality in turning to entrepreneurship after facing racism in the workforce.
This one-hour workshop — facilitated by Angelique Bulosan and featuring the creative works of Julian Wilson — will raise awareness of organizational anti-racism practices and will empower graduates to contribute to working against racism as they lead within organizations, as well as students who want to contribute to a diverse and equitable school atmosphere.
This training is experiential, highly interactive and provides a unique combination of team building, learning through dialogue and presentation. Regardless of where the individual is at in their journey, this training integrates meaningful learning by guiding individuals to come to realizations on their own.
