Whose voices shape the story of women’s health?

We’re pleased to announce Amanda Parris as the keynote speaker for BPAO’s 3rd Annual ! She’ll join Dr. Mojola Omole for a featured fireside conversation on Identity, Equity, and Systems Change.

Amanda is an award-winning writer, television host, and producer. She hosts and showruns CBC’s For the Culture with Amanda Parris and created the Canadian Screen Award-winning comedy series Revenge of the Black Best Friend. Her work explores Black stories, culture, and systemic racism in the creative industries.

Together, Amanda and Dr. Omole will discuss how identity, storytelling, and lived experience shape women’s health, influence trust in healthcare, and challenge the systems that determine whose voices are heard.
