Annual Report 2024
The Project
In honour of the Black Women’s Institute of Health, I was contacted to help create and
art-direct the visuals for their 2024 annual report. The report summarizes the achievements and includes stories and lived experiences of Black women in the Greater Toronto Area.
The report also focuses on advocacy efforts made to gather survey data
(Voices Unheard Survey) to direct focus improve conditions through BWIH networking for black women to feel supported and have a community within various social systems: work place, health care, and financial or government sectors.

Three Brave Black Women
Three Brave Black Women (Akilah Dressejie, Anya Henry,
and Siobhan Stewart) is an introductory page in the report that will recur as testimonies and true stories of their lived realities within different professional, personal, or legal sectors.
1. Voices Unheard Survey
Voice Unheard is Canada’s first survey introduced in the BWIH annual report, collecting legitimate research data that facilitates areas for improvement and visibility, archived in the survey, to improve conditions for black women mistreated in
the system.
2. Civic Engagement for Social Change
Voice Unheard partnered with the Catherine Dolley Foundation, conducts workshops for advocacy where black women voice their individual dealings and experiences, to be taken into consideration by exterior communities.
3. Pathway to Leadership
Partnered with Workforce Funder Collaborative, BWIH facilitates a pathway to leadership with working groups, town hall meetings, and solutions to combat discrepancies Black Women encounter in the workplace (Medical, Financial, Government.)
4. Private Health Insurance
Partnered with SunLife, BWIH was able to advocate for permitting access to the
financial sector to black women in private health insurance.
