The Standard is Canada’s first premier networking and advocacy platform addressing systemic barriers to employment advancement and the inclusion of Canadian Black Women in the sector of marketing.
Join The Standard!
The Standard is a community that provides Black women with a successful network to help them cultivate their career path in an accountable industry committed to intentional action. Our goal is to establish a sustainable model and pipeline of support that bridges the gap and leads to increased pathways of success for Black women at various levels of their professional career. We connected through our lived experience of balancing the barriers of gender and race in our professional lives. While the world reckons with facing racial inequality, we see the need to take an intersectional approach and set a new Standard to center and support Black Canadian women.
Together, with our membership and partners, we are uniquely suited to lead the charge and direct change.
Set it. Raise it. Be it.
