Celebrating Black History Month All Year Long
To keep the momentum of Black History Month going all year, we invite you to join Sheridan Alumni, Sheridan Student Union, and the Centre for Equity and Inclusion for a series of 30-minute coffee chats on Instagram Live.
We are very excited to introduce our next guest speaker in the series: director, producer, cinematographer, editor, public speaker, and poetic artist, Akil McKenzie!
Meet Akil McKenzie
Akil founded his own production company, Falling Motion, while attending Sheridan. He is passionate about creating films that call for an end to racial injustice. His film, Historians, is an award-winning piece that poignantly captures anti-Black racism and honours the Black men and women who have fallen to violence. It has received accolades from film festivals around the world. He also works to create content for advocacy groups, and mentors current film and television students to support underrepresented voices in the media industry.
Meet Your Moderator, Sierra Johnson
Our moderator is BBA Marketing student Sierra Johnson. Sierra transferred to Sheridan from the Haskayne School of Business at the University of Calgary. Sierra transferred to develop a more hands-on experience in the business world, specifically marketing. Sierra trained at the Olympic Oval, based at the University of Calgary campus. With school and being a high-level athlete, she has learned to have effective time management skills which have translated over in any workplace. Johnson also has a love for real estate. She continues to enjoy learning about the real estate market and wants to accomplish a real estate certification after graduating from Sheridan.
