Chapter 29 of my life project — some highlights from the last year. 🎉

I feel so lucky and blessed everyday. Thank you to everyone who has made this year special 🙏🏾

We’ll talk about 75 hard later 😂

This award is for every young person who’s ever felt overlooked, underestimated or ignored 🙏🏾

This week, in a room of 1000+ business, industry and policy leaders I received the 2025 Emerging Leader Award — and I dedicated it to all of us.

Know yourself. Find your tribe. Channel your energy into something bigger than yourself.

Meet Frank Baylis (right)— He could be Canada’s first Black Prime Minister.

The resemblance between Baylis and Obama is striking—but it’s more than just looks. Like Obama, Baylis is a visionary leader with a bold agenda.

Frank is the son of immigrants from Barbados 🇧🇧 and the United Kingdom 🇬🇧

Frank is a successful Canadian entrepreneur. His work has led to a global reputation for revolutionizing healthcare through cutting-edge medical devices. The latest success was the sale of his cardiology business, Baylis Medical Company, to Boston Scientific in 2022, for US$1.75 billion.

As a candidate in the Liberal Party of Canada leadership race, he’s up against Mark Carney, Chrystia Freeland, and Karina Gould.

The winner of the leadership race will become Canada’s next Prime Minister 🇨🇦

Frank is not a well known candidate because mainstream media and the establishment has already decided who they want to win.

How it started vs. How it’s going 🧡 .ca

I founded Tribe in 2021 after years of searching for a space where I could belong as an entrepreneur.

The purpose of Tribe is to 1. Create a space of belonging for racialized individuals 2. Empower these underestimated individuals to thrive in technology, innovation & entrepreneurship.

We do this by supporting our members with access to relevant resources to connect, work, and grow.

Since 2021 we’ve achieved the following milestones:
🤝🏾 Grown our network to 2,500+ people in Canada and around the world
🌐 40+ nationalities represented in our network
💵 We’ve invested $800,000+ in entrepreneurs and leaders in Canada
🚀 We’ve helped our founders raise over $10,000,000 in capital

And we’re just getting started…

Thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey. You know who you are: every employee & intern, board member, partner, advisor, supporter and collaborator.

It’s been an amazing journey to build this community with you all. It takes a village and Tribe Network is that village for many.

Excited for what’s next!
