Better Days Black Excellence Awards

Celebrating Black Francophone Talent & Community Impact

The Better Days Black Excellence Awards were created to honor, uplift, and celebrate the brilliance, creativity, and resilience of Black Francophone professionals whose work strengthens our communities and inspires the next generation.

Too often, the contributions of Black Francophone talent go unseen. This gala exists to change that narrative — to spotlight excellence, recognize impact, and affirm that our stories, skills, and leadership matter.

Why It Matters

These awards are more than a celebration — they are a platform for visibility, pride, and economic empowerment. By recognizing outstanding professionals, we:

• Amplify Black Francophone voices and talent
• Encourage youth to dream boldly and pursue excellence
• Strengthen local businesses and creative industries
• Build intergenerational pride and community connection
