CBC Quebec is highlighting people from the province's Black communities who are giving back, inspiring others and helping to shape our future. These are the 2024 Black Changemakers.

CBC Black Changemakers was created to celebrate and amplify the voices of Black individuals across fields — from entertainment to corporate leadership. Four years later, it still feels like we're just getting started, but this project has quickly become a meaningful source of information, inspiration and empowerment. This year, there are a few changes. The most obvious one? Well, we're a few months away from Black History Month.
