The Africanad initiative started in Winnipeg in the spring of 2019 with Ayodele Odeyemi’s passion for identifying, celebrating, motivating, and projecting achievers of African-Caribbean heritage in Canada. The initiative, which started as an annual festival, gradually grew into positioning its members as leaders in their respective industries and business environments – finance, information technology, law, health/medicine, manufacturing, agriculture, commerce, and many more.
Vision
“To be a leading one-stop brand influencing organization that connects businesses, initiatives and communities together to collaboratively develop ideas profitably, and create opportunities and business platforms for Canadians, and especially for entrepreneurs and business of Canadians of African & Caribbean Descent.”
Mission
“Develop business platforms, programs, and consumer solutions which fulfill the ever-changing needs of clients.”
