The Black Rivers Alliance is a Black youth leadership committee at the Newmarket African Caribbean Canadian Association. Our goal is to work toward the emancipation of Black youth from the embodiment of Black historical trauma, and to redefine what it truly means to be raw, undiluted, and consciously Black. As it is youth-led, each youth in our committee works together to do this by means of conversation, advocating for our learning and for the learning of others in our community, and by delivering presentations, workshops, and projects that will help us grow and establish newness and growth as Black youth.
