‍CANADA'S TOP RANKED ONLINE MAGAZINE FOR BLACK CANADIANS

‍Hi Visitor ‍,

2025 said a LOT, and you showed up for every word. 

We published over 80 articles this year that kept it real about Black Canadian life—the wins, the struggles, the conversations we need to have, and the joy we refuse to let anyone take from us.

Let's talk about what you were really reading.

Opinion pieces? Y'all were THERE—27 deep dives into the perspectives that matter.

You stayed on top of the News with 18 stories, got inspired by 16 Profiles of people doing their thing, tapped in with 15 Expert takes, and vibed out with 5 Entertainment pieces.

But these? These are the stories that had the group chat going.

The Stories That Had Everyone Talking

‍When Black Boys Go Missing didn't just tip the list of most reads—it got all of you demanding better.

 

This 3 part investigation by our Editor-in-Chief Camille Dundas called out what we already know: when our boys disappear, the response isn't the same. Period.

‍I'm A Rich-Skinned Black Woman From Toronto. Dating Here Was Nearly Impossible — Until I Went To Europe had readers in their feelings—and rightfully so.

 

This raw, unapologetic take from Stella Isaac on colourism and dating while also rich-skinned in Toronto, sparked conversations across the diaspora about who gets chosen and why.

‍How TD is Helping Black Canadians Build Wealth (a sponsored post) pulled readers who are serious about securing the bag and building generational wealth.

 

Because financial freedom? That's the energy for 2025 and beyond.

‍Toronto's Library System Is A Hub Of The Black Community, Especially For Newcomers by Likam Kyanzaire resonated with readers who understand that libraries aren't just about books—they're about community, resources, and finding home in a new city.

"Go Back To Work Slave." Ontario Human Rights Tribunal Awards Black Woman Just $250 In Damages For Racist Comment had us absolutely heated—and for good reason.

 

This Expert legal analysis from Walker Law broke down how a $250 settlement for workplace racism is basically saying our dignity has a clearance price tag. The audacity.

‍What's Next
