Who Gets to Tell Our Stories? Why VYPA Is Proud to Support the Future of Diaspora Media in Canada

Some events come and go.

Others shape conversations that continue long after the lights go out.

Imagine walking into a room filled with founders, journalists, creators, entrepreneurs, and community leaders. Around every table, ideas are exchanged. New partnerships begin. Stories that have gone unheard finally find an audience.

Now imagine those stories reaching even further.

That’s the role visibility plays.

It’s also why VYPA is proud to serve as the Official Digital Signage Sponsor of PAC Media @ ONE—an event dedicated to exploring the future of diaspora media in Canada.

Because when meaningful conversations happen, they deserve to be seen.

Why This Conversation Matters

Media shapes how communities are understood.

It influences perception, celebrates achievements, and preserves culture.

For African and Caribbean communities across Canada, representation has never been more important. PAC Media exists to amplify those voices by creating platforms where founders, journalists, creators, and changemakers can share ideas that inspire progress.

Built around the thought-provoking question, “Who gets to tell our stories?”, PAC Media @ ONE is more than an event. It’s a conversation about ownership, visibility, and the future of diaspora storytelling.

A Room Filled with People Making an Impact

Great conversations begin with great people.

PAC Media @ ONE brings together respected voices from media, business, communications, and community leadership.

The event is hosted by Opeyemi Abe, a marketing and communications professional and experienced event compere known for creating engaging conversations.

Joining her is an accomplished lineup of speakers, including:

Doyin Akinlade, Producer at Silvertrust Media and Channel Manager at Afroglobal Television.

Shannon Green (Mrs. Jamaica World), Founder of Green Lending Corporation and President of Caribbean Pageants.

Alex Ade Adefemi, Business and Life Coach, media entrepreneur, and founder of Tripple A.

Sherley Joseph, Founder of Black Canadian Creators, podcast producer, and community builder.

Each speaker brings a unique perspective, but they share one goal: strengthening representation and creating opportunities for the next generation.

Why VYPA Chose to Be Part of This Story

At VYPA, visibility isn’t just what we offer.

It’s what we believe in.

Every day, we help businesses transform ordinary screens into powerful communication tools through digital signage. But visibility goes beyond advertising products or promoting brands.

It also means helping important messages reach the people who need to hear them.

Supporting PAC Media @ ONE reflects that belief.

When communities gather to exchange ideas, celebrate achievements, and inspire change, those moments deserve a platform.

We’re proud to help provide one.

Technology That Helps Messages Travel Further

Digital signage has changed the way organizations communicate.

Instead of relying on static posters or one-time announcements, businesses and event organizers can share dynamic content that informs, engages, and captures attention in real time.

Through VYPA Signage, organizations can manage content across multiple screens from a single cloud-based platform.

For venues looking to maximize the value of their displays, VYPA Host opens the door to new revenue opportunities by connecting screens to VYPA’s growing advertising network.

And for brands seeking to reach audiences in high-traffic locations, VYPA Advertise makes it easy to launch targeted campaigns across a network of digital displays.

Three connected platforms.

One mission.

More Visibility for You.

Visibility Builds Stronger Communities

The most powerful stories don’t stay in one room.

They spark conversations, inspire action, and connect people across communities.

Events like PAC Media @ ONE remind us that visibility isn’t only about technology.

It’s about creating opportunities for voices to be heard.

By supporting initiatives that celebrate leadership, creativity, and representation, VYPA continues its commitment to helping businesses, organizations, and communities communicate with greater impact.

Because every meaningful story deserves an audience.

And every audience deserves something worth seeing.
