National Non-Profit Organization
Black people deserve to live long, healthy, and meaningful lives.
We empower Black Canadians with the knowledge, tools, and advocacy needed to live long, healthy, and meaningful lives despite the harms of systemic anti-Black racism.
The term Black within our organization is used as an inclusive umbrella term that honors the rich diversity of people of African descent in Canada. This includes, but is not limited to, those who identify as Black Canadians, African Canadians, Afro-Canadians, Africans, Black Africans, Caribbean, African-Caribbean, African Nova Scotians, Afro-Latino, Black Indigenous, and Mixed-race. We recognize that Black identity is multifaceted and shaped by history, culture, and lived experience. At Black Lives Living Well Initiative, Black embraces all who experience anti-Black racism and discrimination based on skin colour in all our wonderful shades and stories.
