The door was left open on the previous project which grew out of a series of discussions over several months in 2014. This resulted in a publication which was launched in 2016 and filled a well needed void. The public’s resounding interest propelled the writers to facilitate a second edition which launch is scheduled for September 15, 2018.
As in the first edition, this project continues to spotlight the accomplishments of Black Canadian women who are from different walks of life and regions across Canada. In addition, we will continue to build an ever-expanding database on our website www.100abcwomen.ca of these accomplished women for future endeavours and generations. This will also be available to public and private libraries.
The Black Canadian women recognized in this book include (but not limited to) women who are firsts and/or highly accomplished in government, not-for-profit, financial, legal, real estate, health, entertainment, fine arts and other professions.
A call for nominees together with a nomination process was launched. Individuals were able to nominate other women as well as self-nominate by submitting their nominations electronically.
Proceeds will be used to cover operational expenses for the book and gala. A portion of the proceeds from the book will also go towards supporting programs for marginalized Black women and girls.
A book launch and gala to recognize and celebrate the accomplishments of these 100 Accomplished Black Women will be held on Saturday, September 15, 2018 at the Woodbine Banquet Hall at 30 Vice Regent Boulevard in Toronto, Ontario M9W 7A4.
