What a night it was to celebrate Black excellence at DIVERSEcity’s third annual Black in BC event, on Friday, February 7, 2025. “We’re proud to build on our legacy of bringing community together in style and the evening was made noteworthy with brilliant performances by Vancouver-born-and-based hip-hop artist Ndidi Cascade and poet laureate Elliott Slinn who delivered the keynote. The evening was capped off with a limbo of course, courtesy of the mad skills of King Fish.” says Neelam Sahota, CEO, DIVERSEcity. “Thank you to the community for your support and enthusiasm. This is for you.” The night was further elevated with the presentation of the second annual Black Brilliance Awards! Three of last year’s inaugural winners — Dacious Richardson, Adebola Ige and Amos Kambere — returned to present to this year’s honourees. Congratulations to:🏆 Rising Star Award: Ilhan Abdullahi 🏆 Trailblazer Award: James Kamau and Winnie Chironga 🏆Luminary Award: Mabel Taunu Read the full story and learn more about the winners here: www.dcrs.ca/black-brilliance-illuminated-at-black-in-bc-event/ #BlackinBC #BlackExcellence #BHM2025 #BlackHistoryMonth #BlackHistoryMonth2025 #Awards #Winners #SurreyBC #ForPeopleForCommunities ...
