✨Glo Romy (@gloromy) — Multidisciplinary Artist and Founder of BOSSY✨

Glo Romy is a multidisciplinary artist working across design, dance, and film — always rooted in community and culture.

Her clients have included OVO Sound and the Toronto Blue Jays, and she received an Applied Arts Award for SHOEBAE, an editorial publication exploring Toronto’s Sneakerhead community. Her campaign HIPHOPHONEYZ, an ode to women in Hip Hop, was exhibited at Ossington Station, celebrating women shaping the culture.

With support from Toronto Arts Council, Glo created her first short film, BOSSY: An Ode to Women in Street Dance — an energetic celebration of women in Toronto’s street dance scene.

Led by an all-women cast and crew, the film brought together multiple generations of dancers representing Hip Hop, Popping, Locking, Waacking, Breaking, and Krump — honouring both pioneers and emerging artists moving the culture forward.

We’re proud to support artists like Glo who elevate community, amplify women’s voices, and keep Toronto’s creative spirit thriving. ✨

Celebrating dance Immersion (@danceimmersion) this Black History Month. 💃🏾✨

Founded in 1994 by Vivine Scarlett, dance Immersion has spent over 30 years producing, promoting, and supporting dancers and dances of the African Diaspora. Through presentation, skill development, and networking opportunities, the organization has directly supported more than 2,000 Black Canadian dance artists, produced over 85 stage and studio presentations, delivered 350+ dance education events, and connected tens of thousands of artists and audiences across Toronto and beyond.

With support from the Toronto Arts Council, dance Immersion co-presented Theo x Travis: Jazz is Dead, a world premiere collaboration between Grammy-nominated trumpeter Theo Croker and tappowerhouse Travis Knights. Presented with Luminato Festival in partnership with TO Live, the performance took place at Meridian Arts Centre and fused jazz, hip hop, R&B, and improvisation into a bold, groove-driven live experience.

This Black History Month and all year long, we celebrate Black-led organizations shaping culture, community, and the future of the arts in Toronto.
