POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Last week, we gathered for REPRESENTED: a non-partisan forum creating space for engaging directly in conversations about civic leadership + public service.

The National Congress of Black Men Canada (NCBMC) extends our sincere appreciation to our supporters, donors, volunteers and special Guests of Honour who helped make the evening possible.

Our momentum continues to grow. From community connection and mental wellness to civic engagement, entrepreneurship and professional networking, we are committed to creating meaningful spaces where Black Canadians across British Columbia can connect, contribute and lead.

REPRESENTED was another step in that work and we’re just getting started.

Thank you to everyone investing their time, resources and belief in this growing community.

On Friday, September 11, we’re bringing something special to Surrey, B.C.

REPRESENTED: A Political Community Forum - brings together Black elected officials, political candidates, community leaders, families and community members for a first-of-its-kind evening of conversation, connection and civic engagement.

This is a non-partisan event. No endorsements. No party politics. Just an opportunity to meet some of the people stepping into leadership across B.C., hear their stories, ask questions and connect beyond the titles.

And this room is for everyone. Black communities, families, friends, neighbours + allies of every background are invited to come celebrate Black excellence and the growing diversity of leadership in our province.

Black leadership is here. Black excellence is here. And everyone is invited to celebrate it!

📅 Friday, September 11 | 5–9 PM
📍 Black Arts Centre | Surrey, B.C.
🎟️ Link to Tix in the Bio

Presented by the @ncbmcbc , in partnership with the @theblackartscentre

Come for the conversation. Stay for the connection. Leave REPRESENTED.

Late 2025, Brothers Brunch Vancouver had the honour of hosting Lesra Martin (the lawyer whose story inspired Denzel Washington’s film 'The Hurricane').

An intimate conversation about resilience, purpose, identity, and what it means for men to heal, lead, and grow in community.

We create Powerful rooms for Powerful conversations.

At our Feb 2025 gathering, we celebrated the power of Black male leadership + economic solidarity — intentional connection fuels stronger community economies + representation. Research shows Black entrepreneurs in Canada continue to face systemic barriers + need expanded networks and support to thrive.

We were proud to support @chefcullindavid at Calabash Bistro, championing Black-owned business excellence and community wealth building.
