Redefining Perspectives: From Racial Profiling to Action
🗓 Date & Time: 6:00 PM – 8:30 PM
📍 Location: Online
Join us for a transformative and inspiring evening!
Racial profiling is a harsh reality that too many women of African descent face daily. This online event, part of the Sayasafe project, offers a space for dialogue, learning, and artistic expression to better understand this issue and address it with strength and resilience.
Sayasafe is an initiative by Sayaspora aimed at creating safer, more inclusive, and respectful digital and urban spaces for young African diaspora women in Montreal. After exploring digital safety in previous workshops, we are now focusing on urban safety—tackling real-life challenges, sharing solutions, and driving positive action.
Every woman deserves to feel safe and respected wherever she goes. This event is designed to:
✨ Inspiring talks by experts in sociology and civil rights.
🎨 An immersive exhibit celebrating the diversity and resilience of African diaspora women.
🗣️ Interactive discussions where every voice matters as we move forward together with strength and solidarity.
📍 Location: Online via Zoom – the link will be sent 48 hours before the event.
