Black Canada Talking™ is a live online event that provides Black Canadians opportunity to give their takes and POVs on stories that are of importance to them.

The guest on the May 2, 2021 episode of Black Canada Talking™ was Anton James.

Anton James is a son, brother and father of two amazing children, a 13 year old daughter and a soon to be 12 year old son. While, they both believe themselves to be in their mid-thirties at least, they effectively keep Anton sharp and active. He is the youngest of two brothers, both of us attending school out of country. After returning from the United States, Anton attended the University of Toronto.

Upon graduation, Anton was recruited by United Parcel Services (UPS) and was one of the four members of their Permanent Strategic Business Planning Team. While there, he developed and managed strategies, programs and projects and managed $100’s million and teams of up to 25.

After leaving UPS, Anton lead the Strategy and Marketing for Technology start-up, which grew to become Canada’s Fastest-Growing Company. Along the way, he won many awards and accolades, culminating in my invitation to the United Nations in Geneva Switzerland to discuss global competition.

After that technology start-up, Anton transitioned into consulting, some notable clients include Roger, Telus, Toronto Transit Commission (TTC), and Autism Ontario etc.. At this point, he endured some personal shakeups, a divorce, but was blessed to secure full custody of my two children. As a result, he transitioned back into the corporate realm and led the Marketing / Sales / Strategy efforts for diverse industries including the Medical, SaaS, Technology, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Not -For-Profit to name a few. While Anton continues to work in marketing, sales and strategy realms, he has been ramping up his hosting and moderating work, and currently host two national shows which engage, politicians, banking, technology and industry leaders, while the other show engages segment leaders in diverse sectors.

What distinguishes Anton is his ability to connect with people, my adaptability and my tenacity.

During our conversation, Anton talked about:

– His background and childhood learning in both Canada and the United States
– His personal and professional experience during the COVID-19 Pandemic as well as how other Black Canadians are being affected and learning to work together
– Teaching and learning from various communities from a personal perspective as well as a financial one
– The differences between profit and revenue within businesses
– How the Canadian government hands out grants and loans are for Black businesses in regards to diversity and inclusion and whether these improvements will be long term
– What he wants for both Black and non-melanated communities to show positive change in a long term situation
