About This Event: Attention all budding artisans! Engage with some of Ottawa’s leading Black Makers and learn about their journey, inspiration, challenges, accomplishments and learnings. If you are considering a career as a Creative or looking to grow or collaborate, this interactive panel session is for you!  

We are delighted to have a very special guest, Frances-Anne Solomon, who is an award-winning film Director and the CEO of Caribbean Tales Media, and a Director Member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (home of the Oscars!). We are excited to have her perspective as a Maker on an international scale who expresses and broadcasts issues and questions of interest and importance for the African Diaspora.  We hope that you will join us.
