Our Health Matters seminar
by Sarah Onyango
On February 20, 2015, the Black Ottawa Business Network Social Group teamed up with the Canadian Diabetes Association – Ottawa to present an educational event entitled “Our Health Matters Black history Month Speakers Series”. During the evening, various speakers discussed health, nutrition and body movement geared to the black community. The audience was also entertained by a spoken word artist and a popular Caribbean DJ, and were treated to a Black History Ottawa table-top exhibit highlighting black trailblazers and inventors in the medical field. Part of the proceeds raised was donated to the Canadian Diabetes Association.
