We are looking for engaging speakers to join our Combatting Anti-Black Racism Workshop speaking team. You will be working alongside a “Team Lead" speaker to deliver one hour workshops to students in schools across the Greater Toronto area. Our workshops draw on a mixture of personal experience, participant engagement and factual evidence to educate students on anti-Black racism, micro-aggressions, racial barriers, and how to be an ally.

You have the support of your fellow speakers and managers, but please gauge your emotional readiness before applying.

- Co-facilitate workshops in schools across Canada about Combatting Anti-Black Racism and being an ally
- Memorize lines from a script and present them in an engaging manner
- Show up on time to workshops looking professional and prepared to present
- Speak authentically to your own experiences as a Black individual to educate and connect with participants
- Answer student questions during the workshop and potentially navigate difficult and/or personal conversations

- Lived experience navigating Combatting Anti-Black Racism
- Basic understanding of intersectionality, privilege and oppression and knowledge of the Black community
- Flexible schedule with the ability to work during school hours, 8-4pm
- Possibility of early morning and evening hours
- Experience public speaking an asset
- Comfortable in front of groups of people
- G Level Drivers License is an asset
Interested applicants should submit their resume and cover letter to Marley Bowen by August 1, 2026.
Cover letters are a must, and should include the key messages that you would want to communicate to students based on your lived experiences, and why you believe that you would be the best fit for the role.
While all responses are valued and appreciated, only those being considered for an interview will be contacted.
