In addition, they will have access to internships and even mentoring. Young finalists will also be congratulated for standing out in the WAVES OF THE FUTURE category presented by DELOITTE.
For its third edition, which will be held at Bain Mathieu, the FREQUENCE team made up of Nick Désilus, Ashley Kéwé, Qauffee, Noonski and founder Magalie Boutin, has focused on a program rich in music and creativity that will celebrate diversity.
FREQUENCE’s mission is to highlight the talents of young people from black communities in Quebec. The NPO helps to showcase outstanding talents in all regions of the province. On June 20, 2026, 10 young people aged 12 to 21 will experience a vibrant and positive moment in the company of their loved ones, friends and teachers.
This annual Happening is more than necessary. The news of recent days once again confirms that young people and people of color experience injustice on a daily basis. FREQUENCE creates bridges, brings people together and celebrates.
