Dr. Salima Bhimani receives iconic Women Creating a Better World for All Award from the Women Economic Forum (WEF).

The global award recognizes Dr. Bhimani’s leadership in the advancement of social minority women, equity and inclusion.

Women Economic Forum (WEF) is the world’s largest all inclusive international women’s chamber and a movement for the Welfare, Wealth and Wellbeing of all. They have over 500+ chapters and over 50,000+ members across 150 countries. Dr. Bhimani’s global award honors her contributions to making sustainable change in the lives of marginalized women and communities. In response to receiving the award, Dr. Bhimani stated, “to be known as emblematic for transforming social injustice and to be recognized for it by women around the world is a great honor and responsibility. My peers expect me to continue to step up and step into shaping a just, equitable
and inclusive world in big ways. Part of my work is to uncover and eliminate with others, the normalized biases, hate, barriers and discrimination that women and people of color must confront every day. I want to thank them for reiterating my continued accountability in this.”

Last year, Dr. Bhimani launched Relational, a global institute to enhance social justice, equity and inclusion. As a woman of color social entrepreneur, Salima is trailblazing innovative ways for historically marginalized women to be at the forefront of leading social innovation. Working with institutions and communities so that they reflect equitable, inclusive and healthy human experiences, relationships and systems is central to Dr. Bhimani’s vision and what Relational does.

A website is being developed for the upgrade. It will contain up-to-date information with the timeline and progress. Communication on the release date to follow.

In April, the International Centre and the LinX pub hosted our first ever and very successful International Music Night. This gave International Students an opportunity to showcase their amazing talents (most for the first time) here in Canada. 

Looking to build on the success of that event, the International Centre will be hosting a series of smaller yet more intimate music events that will continue to showcase the amazing and incredible musical talents and abilities of Humber International Students from all over the globe.

Starting May 26^th and continuing on the last Friday of each month over the summer, International Student performers will be playing in the LRC Concourse from 4:00 to 4:30 p.m. The main goal of these performances is to not only showcase their own amazing talents but to also add to the already energetic weekend mood for the staff here in the LRC!

If you are looking for more, these performers can be found once again starting in September as we look to build on our initial International Music Night Events!

For more questions or inquiries please contact our International Student Ambassador, rohit.sharma2@humber.ca

We hope that you enjoy!

This event is open to everyone, so join in and let loose! Remember - there are no limitations or expectations; let your creativity shine through. This is your Pride, your way.

The #DisplayYourPride initiative is open to everyone, but for those with a competitive spirit, there is one more way for you to get involved.
