Children often have a lot going on, with a multitude of questions running through their minds. Enjoy a warm and inclusive afternoon with local Community Changemaker Grace Ibrahima, writer of the book White Questions, Black Answers: Helping Kids to be Seen and Heard. Grace will be Auntie for the afternoon and answer all respectful questions young participants have about skin colour, racism, bigotry, discrimination, and general curiousity.
Canada’s 2026 Black History Month theme is Honouring Black Brilliance Across Generations, and this author event is thoughtfully designed with families in mind. Children will help guide the conversation through their questions, creating a welcoming, judgement-free space where curiosity and learning are encouraged for all ages. Everyone with an interest in listening, learning, and reflecting together is welcome to attend, and an adults-only session on this topic will be offered later in the summer.
There will be an opportunity to buy Grace's book and have it signed after the event.
