Having landed in Canada as an adult, it didn’t take long for me to realize that, for my entire life, I took my “Blackness” for granted. I had undervalued the privilege of being able to live, move and work freely without being judged for the colour of my skin.
Black History Month celebrations shine a bright light on all the accomplishments of the men and women who paved a path for us to be where we are today and reminds us of those in the present who are carrying the torch.
Black History Month is still a new concept to me. I only started celebrating it when I moved to Canada three years ago.
February is Black History Month, and in recognition of this event, the CIA is speaking to Black actuaries and members of the actuarial community to hear their reflections.
The Canadian Institute of Actuaries (CIA) and the Actuarial Students’ National Association (ASNA) are pleased to announce the winners of the inaugural ASNA-CIA Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Scholarships.
