On Saturday, October 1st Amherstburg Freedom Museum, in partnership with Amherstburg Community Foundation and with support from the Canadian government, are relaunching our Freedom Achievers Speaker Series and Mentorship Program with an in-person event at the Amherstburg Freedom Museum (277 King Street). Join us as we host a mentor showcase and welcome Diversity and Inclusion Advocate, Journalist and Lawyer Dr. Hadiya Roderique.
As a young, Black woman working as a lawyer on Bay Street, Hadiya Roderique delivered a wake-up call to corporate Canada in the form of her Globe and Mail feature essay, "Black on Bay Street.” In her thought-provoking talks, she discusses barriers and challenges to diversity and inclusion, and counters those common arguments to show the power behind a diverse and inclusive workplace.
