Black-only online spaces allow for safe expression

The Black Lives Matter protests of last summer, following the death of George Floyd sparked a racial reckoning. The movement forced Canadians to examine the issues and obstacles people of colour face everyday in this country. And for the Black community, Black only spaces on YouTube, Facebook and other social media sites have emerged as forums to address concerns and to heal. The purpose of these spaces isn’t to exclude anyone, but to offer a platform to connect shared experiences. Candace Daniel explains.
