A Black focused job fair is being held today to help connect people of colour with companies dedicated to diversity and inclusion.

Blaxpo meant to create space 'that looked like us, that felt like us,' says founder Nicole Antoine.

Nicole Antoine, photographed in downtown Montreal, has spent much of her career working to bring Black women and other racialized people together in safe spaces.

There is definitely a shift happening within our world. It is such a blessing to witness this change. We had the pleasure of being part of BLAXPO 2022.

Lessons learned lead to future change

Co-founder of Four Brown Girls and BLAXPO Architect, Nicole Antoine, visited the set of The Social to talk about creating space in the workforce for people of color.

Imagine a career expo that feels like a tinder date, where all the exhibiting companies, their posters and pop-up banners look like you. And all the available resources are set up to match you with the right opportunity. Well, it's real, and it's called Blaxpo.

Mel is joined by Nicole Antoine, co-founder of Four Brown Girls, to discuss BLAXPO, a Toronto-based career fair aiming to reduce unemployment by hiring BIPOC talent.

Finding a new career is fundamentally hard, especially when you come from a diverse background or underrepresented group. In hopes of filling the gap, Toronto's getting a new career fair that will focus on hiring BIPOC talent.

More opportunities, more growth! Toronto’s getting a one-day career event that highlights BIPOC talent and offers a series of lifestyle events in October – BLAXPO.

BLAXPO is hoping to connect BIPOC individuals to equitable and diverse opportunities with a special job fair this fall.

Showcase your talent and connect with companies that can help propel you to the career of your dreams by attending, BLAXPO.
