CBC Black Changemakers was created to celebrate and amplify the voices of Black individuals across fields — from entertainment to corporate leadership. Four years later, it still feels like we're just getting started, but this project has quickly become a meaningful source of information, inspiration and empowerment. This year, there are a few changes.
The most obvious one? Well, we're a few months away from Black History Month. Instead of the usual 28 days of Changemakers in February, CBC Quebec decided to make this a year-round project. Three months ago, we put out a call for submissions and per tradition, nominators made it hard for the jury to choose.
We thought we might choose 12 Changemakers for this new format. We ended up with 22. We'll be rolling out their stories over the next eight months.
This year's cohort is made up of folks who have taken to the streets or taken up a pen, all of them driven to affect positive change. We'll also be introducing you to our annually rotating jury of past Changemakers and a variety of community members from different professions and backgrounds.
