      Diversity initiatives at BNP Paribas in Canada have had a profound impact on both my professional and personal life. Ever since I joined the Black Heritage Employee Resource Group (ERG) in 2022, I have had the chance to connect with inspiring people and work on exciting events for the employees at the bank. I have developed project management skills and gained insight from senior members of the Black diaspora on how to manage my career as a young Black woman in Montreal [...] To me, this is what diversity is about — cultivating a space where we feel included and represented, and where we can all grow as individuals and learn from each other. Saoudiatou Ganiou, campus recruiter
      Co-creating the Middle East and North Africa ERG and participating in diversity initiatives at the bank made me realize how creating a safe space for employees of all cultural and ethnic backgrounds to exchange and connect can not only transform individuals, but the entire organization. For me, diversity goes far beyond numbers or symbolic initiatives— it's about recognizing our differences as a strength and a driver of innovation. Yousra Alaoui Sosse, project manager
