Series creator and producer, Joe’s Basketball Diaries, an original talk series from the University of Toronto that explores a range of topics that impact us as a collective, including race, inclusivity, leadership, equity, and global citizenship, using basketball as a vehicle.

Now, more than ever, we need a sense of belonging, community, and trust. Basketball is one of the few sports that has truly been able to cross-cultural and ethnic divides, bringing together one of the world’s most eclectic fanbases. As a world-renowned public university in a celebrated city where knowledge meets achievement, history meets the future, and sports meets humanity, the University of Toronto is uniquely positioned to facilitate discussions on topical subjects that impact the world. Welcome to Joe’s Basketball Diaries.
