George Sully understands all too well the challenges faced by Black designers in Canada. As a Black designer and entrepreneur who has been part of the Canadian fashion industry for the better part of his life, Sully knows what it feels like to experience racial discrimination in his work. To help increase the visibility of Black creatives, Sully founded Black Designers of Canada (BDC) in June 2020. This interactive online index promotes and celebrates Black artists and designers across the country, giving them a place to express themselves and share their creations. In this video, TV host, Brandon Gonez, works with George Sully's family, friends and fellow faces from Black Designers of Canada to surprise him with a gift to say thank you for helping bring people together.

"Unforgettable. Your team surprised me with genuine passion, representing not just my legacy, but the untold stories of black Canadian artists. Working together was an incredible experience. Forever grateful."
