SUMMARY:Black Disability Histories: Reflections\, Narratives\, Futures
DESCRIPTION:Join at The Hub – UTSC\, for a conversation about neurodiversity\, disability and racial justice with youth from the Youth Alliance for Intersectional Justice (YAIJ). \nThis event\, hosted by the EDIO\, is led by youth who are “intimately knowledgeable about life at the intersections” (YAIJ). You will hear and learn from youth with firsthand experiences of disability and racialization. Recognizing that neurodiversity can be understood through an assets-based perspective\, this conversation will re-define and illuminate difference as strength. You will learn more about how to meaningfully cultivate spaces that welcome neurodiverse and racialized youth in a way that reaches beyond accommodation. At UTSC\, prioritizing intentional inclusion means deepening our understanding of multiple perspectives and knowledge through experiential learning within and beyond the academy. \nIf you have any questions or requests to best accommodate your participation\, please contact the event co-ordinator (edio.utsc@utoronto.ca).

SUMMARY:Panel Discussion on Black-Led Community Space
DESCRIPTION:Please join the Infrastructure Institute at U of T  and the Somali Centre for Culture and Recreation for a conversation featuring Isaac Olowolafe Jr.\, Dream Legacy Foundation\, Amina Mohamed\, Somali Centre for Culture and Recreation\, and Alica Hall\, Nia Centre for the Arts\, to discuss how to build culturally-relevant and multi-faceted community spaces that are led by\, and serve Black communities. \nThis event is free\, open to the public\, and will be live-streamed for those not able to attend in person. \nPanelists: \nIsaac Olowolafe Jr. is an award-winning real estate entrepreneur\, angel investor and philanthropist. As an award winning real estate entrepreneur\, his business celebrated the completion of the first major mixed-use development (condos\, townhomes\, retail) called Dream Residences at Yorkdale\, located directly across from Yorkdale Mall\, and has more developments underway across the GTA\, including launch of Dream Suites @ YYZ boutique Hotel by Pearson Airport. Isaac’s love for community inspired him to establish The Dream Legacy Foundation – a philanthropic organization serving as a diversity and inclusion thought leader advocating for the millions of talented Black Citizens and historically underrepresented communities. Isaac also established The Dream Maker Realty/Olowolafe Family Scholarship Award at the University of Toronto\, the largest endowment for African Studies in any Canadian university. \nAmina Mohamed is a communications expert\, researcher\, and curator working at the intersection of culture\, tech\, and urban planning. Amina has worked on several global research teams examining the impact of digital placemaking\, and has consulted on a variety of social infrastructure projects in Canada\, the US\, Germany and the Netherlands. She carries a masters degree from the University of Amsterdam in New Media and Digital Culture\, with a focus on digital heritage projects. Most recently she was head of programming and communication at Urban Impact\, an urban tech agency based in Berlin\, and is the head of strategic communications for the Somali Centre for Culture and Recreation. \nAlica Hall has been working at the intersection of art\, communications and community development for over a decade. Her curatorial practice is driven by a desire to explore identity and power\, excavate lesser-known stories and a commitment to expand visual narratives surrounding the Black experience. In 2018\, she took on the role of Executive Director at Nia Centre for the Arts\, a Toronto-based charitable organization that supports and showcases arts from across the Afro-Diaspora. In her time at the Centre\, she has launched their first residency program\, curated the first Black Art Fair and raised $9-M in capital funding. Alica is now heading up the renovation of Nia Centre’s 14\,000 sq. ft. facility which will transform the Centre into Canada’s first professional space dedicated to Afro-diasporic art. \nThis event is sponsored by the Infrastructure Institute at the University of Toronto’s School of Cities\, and co-hosted by the Somali Centre for Culture and Recreation.
