Saddiqah Adamu
"I cannot speak highly enough about the instrumental role BlackTies played in helping me secure my first full-time role in Canada. The connections and support I received from BlackTies were vital in securing my role at RBC - just 3 months after relocating from Ireland."
Shanice Donkor
“It was my first time coming to an event focused on Black professionals and I didn't know what to expect. I got to speak with a lot of like minded professionals and I really enjoyed myself. I definitely recommend attending any event BlackTies hosts.”
