In Canada, organizations such as Black Architects and Interior Designers (BAIDA) and Building Equality in Architecture Toronto (BEAT) are working with the community to empower designers and architects. BAIDA is a non-profit organization made up of students, planners, interior designers, and architects. Through their work, BAIDA aims to support diversity, equity, and inclusion in the profession of architecture and interior design. “We want members of our community to be a part of the discussion in a way that will inspire the next pipeline of architects. The only way we can do that is through outreach and an element of understanding about which communities are, or were previously, Black-owned,” explains BAIDA co-founder and architect Farida Abu-Bakare in a previous discussion with DesignTO (Caring for Community: Farida Abu-Bakare on her Personal Philosophy, BAIDA, and Placemaking).
