About the Black Rivers Alliance
The Black Rivers Alliance is a Black youth leadership committee at the Newmarket African Caribbean Canadian Association. Our goal is to work toward the emancipation of Black youth from the embodiment of Black historical trauma and to redefine what it truly means to be raw, undiluted and consciously Black. As it is youth-led, each youth in our committee works together to do this by utilizing conversation, advocating for our learning and the learning of others in our community, and delivering presentations, workshops and projects to help us grow and establish newness and growth as Black youth.
