The Toronto Raptors are winners of the NBA inclusion leadership award for the 2021-22 season, the league announced Monday.
The Embry Fellowship offers two Canadians first-hand experience in the Raptors basketball operations environment for a season. The Welcome Toronto Creators Program is an incubator that nurtures burgeoning young BIPOC, non-binary or women creators.
The Raptors have also committed to providing at least one of the fellowship spots to a candidate who identifies as part of a marginalized group. “We recognize the privilege and responsibility that comes with our platform and we continuously strive to use our voice to provide opportunities that unite our community through the power of sport,” Wiggins said.
Finalists for the creator program are given a spotlight at a “Welcome Toronto” game to showcase their stories and art across the team’s social media and are highlighted in-game and during the TV broadcast.
