our story
Founded in 2019 in the city of Ottawa by two Black youth, Unilearnal has been dedicated to delivering meaningful educational content that showcases the stories that are often unknown or overlooked.
At the origin, UNILEARNAL was only supposed to be a one time project. 28 Moments of Black Canadian History was a Black-led initiative that aimed to educate on Black Canadian history and bridge the knowledge gap. After the stunning results from the twenty-nine episode series, we realized that there was more to be done, more stories to be told, and more experiences to be chronicled. And so, UNILEARNAL was born from an effort to continue closing this knowledge gap.
