Messages from Parliament Hill to London’s Black Founders

At LIFT 3.0, London’s federal representatives spoke directly to Black and African entrepreneurs. Watch their messages.

LIFT 3.0 was a summit where government came to listen. MP Arielle Kayabaga attended in person and brought remarks on behalf of the Government of Canada, and the City of London addressed the room through Trevor Fowler.

Two more of London’s Members of Parliament sent video messages to the founders in the room. We are sharing them here for everyone who could not be there.

Recognition matters. So does follow-through. FilAfrik will keep bringing founders’ voices to every level of government, and we invite our representatives to keep showing up.
