The Black Futures Project team, powered by Impact Organizations of Nova Scotia and the Canadian Race Relations Foundation, published the Possibility Brief: Liberatory Practices for Pro-Black Workplaces. The Black Futures Project is a community-led initiative supporting belonging and organizational leadership for Black and Afro-Nova Scotians in the Community Impact (nonprofit) Sector. Rooted in principles of Afrofuturism, Black liberation, and decolonization, the project was co-designed by community for community with learnings for the wider sector. Through gatherings, storytelling, and a blended learning journey cohort, the project deepened awareness of systemic barriers and supported organizations to create policies framed in justice, belonging, and culture.

Led in partnership with the African Nova Scotian Decade for People of African Descent (ANSDPAD) and Impact Organizations of Nova Scotia (IONS), the Black Futures Project centers community voice, intergenerational leadership, and bold imagination to transform how Black people are seen, supported, and celebrated across Nova Scotia. The Possibility Brief offers pro-Black policy considerations and liberatory practices that organizations can implement to move from our current state to reimagined, joyful, and leaderful futures.
