As Black History Month winds down, a Black-led youth academy with the apt and awesome slogan Hogwarts Meets Wakanda celebrates its first anniversary.
Ethos Lab is a not-for-profit endeavour that aims to create a culture shift in STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) by offering Black youth, teenaged girls and other youths access to mentors who can teach emerging technologies. They’ve been learning 3D modelling, how to build robots, video-game coding and even silkscreen printing for their art.

Today the City of Vancouver launched an interactive photomap to mark Black History Month.
According to a press release the web-based project, called Give Them Their Flowers, centres the experiences, hopes, and wishes of 10 Black residents who have made impactful contributions to life in Vancouver. This February will mark the 25th anniversary of the acknowledgement of Black History Month across Canada, says Nya Lewis, director of BlackArt Gastown, the photomap curator. It is an honour to lend artistic expression and voice to celebrating the contributions of Black Vancouver residents. Though we will never be able to shine a light on all the stories of Black excellence and resilience, we can as a city move towards a more supportive and equitable community.
