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: Founder of Love of Literature, Danielle Norris!
Meet Danielle Norris
Danielle’s passion project is the Love of Literature — Canada's only non-profit book club for Black youth ages 7 to 18. She started the book club in 2017 with 10 children at a Black-owned bookstore in Brampton, Ont. Love of Literature has evolved to include over 600 children and teens in Ontario and other provinces across Canada.
Danielle works alongside her team of volunteers — brilliant and committed Black educators and community leaders — to provide a safe affinity space for youth to connect with their peers and review Black-focused books with relatable themes. Her mission is to spark curiosity in Black youth and inspire lifelong learners to read books that celebrate, include and represent Black culture.
Danielle is also an award-winning communication professional with 15+ years of experience in the public, private, and not-for-profit sectors. As a certified Strategic Communication Management Professional, she specializes in strategic planning, government relations, and community outreach. Danielle is the manager of marketing and communications at RTOERO, the largest national provider of non-profit group health insurance benefits for education retirees in Canada.
