What is systemic racism in reality? It's an abstract concept that everyone talks about, but many people struggle to define. So we've compiled some fun, educational and explanatory resources on this much-debated form of racism.

The project Making Your Way Up , created by Sayaspora and funded by Canadian Heritage, addresses the barriers to employment and career mobility faced by marginalized and systematically underrepresented young women aged 18-30 in the African diaspora (including communities in the Maghreb, Sub-Saharan Africa, Southern and Eastern Africa and the Caribbean).

The project proposes a two-pronged response, offering tools to negotiate entry into key employment sectors while developing an awareness campaign to help employers and the public better understand the various issues arising from systematic racism and how it operates in the workplace.
