In a moment where misinformation\, distortion\, and erasure are constant\, this gathering is designed to equip Black communities with the tools to critically consume media\, strategically produce content\, and leverage storytelling for real-world impact. \n\n\n\nHeadlining the Summit is Phillip Scott\, Founder & CEO of ADNC\, whose leadership has helped build one of the most influential independent Black-owned media platforms today. Under his direction\, ADNC has become essential media infrastructure centering truth\, accountability\, and community power in a media landscape that often does the opposite. His presence anchors the Summit’s core message: Black media isn’t optional\, it’s essential. \n\n\n\nThis marquee event brings together Black journalists\, media professionals\, artists\, activists\, policy thinkers\, and grassroots organizers from across the African Diaspora who understand a shared reality: whoever controls the narrative controls political\, economic\, and cultural outcomes. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAttendees will hear from international keynote speakers from the United States\, alongside Toronto-based journalists\, cultural leaders\, and policy influencers actively shaping public discourse. Through dynamic panels\, unfiltered conversations\, and practical insights\, participants will leave with actionable strategies to challenge harmful narratives\, counter misinformation\, and amplify voices that have historically been sidelined. \n\n\n\nBeyond the conversations\, the Summit is a full experience. Guests will walk the Black Carpet Media Wall\, capture professional photos\, enjoy a curated dinner and drinks\, and experience live music performances featuring Juno Award–winning artist Carlos Morgan and his band\, along with special guest performances. Attendees will also have direct access to the ADNC team behind one of today’s most powerful Black-owned media platforms. \n\n\n\nEqual parts strategy\, celebration\, and community\, the ADNC Narrative Power Summit is about building narrative muscle and reminding us that power feels good when it’s finally in our hands URL:https://blackcanadiancreators.ca/event/adnc-narrative-power-summit/ LOCATION:Acqua Supper Club\, 50 Prince Edward Island Circle\, Toronto\, ON\, M6K 3C3\, Canada CATEGORIES:Ontario,Toronto, ON ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://blackcanadiancreators.ca/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/ADNC-Narrative-Power-Summit-1.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Toronto:20260930T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Toronto:20261014T235959 DTSTAMP:20260606T153651Z CREATED:20260526T163652Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260606T153651Z UID:5141-1790726400-1792022399@blackcanadiancreators.ca SUMMARY:OPEN CALL FOR ARTISTS – FALL 2026 ILHABELA\, SP DESCRIPTION:Maré do Sol invites artists to apply for a creative cohort at Casa na Ilha residency in Ilhabela\, Brazil this Fall (September 30 – October 14\, 2026). \nThis cohort brings together a small group of 6 artists working across disciplines to engage in workshops\, collective exchange\, and studio-based practice. \nThe Experience \nA SMALL CREATIVE COHORT OF 6 ARTISTS at Casa Na Ilha Residency \n\nWorkshops + Creative sessions\nDedicated studio time after each session\nSpace to reflect\, integrate\, and develop your work\nBalancing individual practice & shared experience\n\nRooted in coastal environments and cultural exchange\, Maré do Sol creates space for both individual creation and collective moments of exchange. \n  \nEligibility \n\nApplicants must be 21 years or older at the time of the cohort.\nPriority: Canada-based artists.
