Background

About Jerome Ferguson

I am a passionate individual with a thriving entrepreneurial spirit and a focus on creating fun, inclusive and memorable experiences for indigenous peoples, people of colour and the 2slgbtq+ community. Through my careers, I have gained significant experience in account and relationship management, marketing and innovation and a true talent for communication. I know the importance of ensuring everything stays organized, creative, and I have the ability to wear multiple hats. Born and raised in Toronto, my passion is driven by the amount of creative talent that this city produces. I want to see all artists, filmmakers, designers, and other forms of art & entertainment thrive. My main goal is to continue to create infrastructure for the city by facilitating safe spaces for unrepresented communities. The importance of prioritizing these groups of people was important to me because growing up, it never existed. I've hosted innovative and successful experiences with help from various trained volunteers. Events included : multi-disciplinary art shows, songwriting camps, developmental events and live shows. I've helped several people within our community get jobs, paid work, and other career advancements.
