Black history event connects youths with long list of luminaries

Toronto students had the opportunity to meet with, and be inspired by, world-changing entrepreneurs and innovators at the "Inspire Connect Achieve", conference that took place at City Hall on Feburary 28th. The event featured illuminaries from around the world of black history and heritage as part of the city's celebration of Black History Month.

"Inspire Connect Achieve is a celebration of black history and heritage, with a focus on exposing youths to career opportunities they may not have considered," explains Sylvia Searles, the brain behind the event.
