others (now termed \u201cthe racial reckoning\u201d), The Black Pledge Collective (BPC) was created by a group of Black women theatre artists to hold arts organizations accountable for their commitments to combat anti-Black racism in live performance. Led by multi-award-winning artist and activist Sedina Fiati, the collective includes experienced professionals Georgia Grant, Janelle Cooper, Naomi Bain, Nikola Steer (aka Coco Framboise), Ren Niles, Tamara Jones, and Velvet Wells. The initiative calls on organizations to support Black artists by creating actionable anti-racism plans, and to build long-lasting relationships with Black communities. So far, five organizations\u20142b theatre, Neworld Theatre, Nightwood Theatre, Shakespeare in the Ruff and the Stratford Festival\u2014have signed the pledge.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Black Pledge Collective has led numerous workshops and panels across Canada, including sessions with the Stage Managing the Arts (SMArts), SPARC Rural Arts Network and the Greater Vancouver Professional Theatre Alliance.
