UNMUTEDCO expands North with Launch of Toronto Office

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 

TORONTO, ON –

November 17, 2025 – UNMUTEDCO LLC, a leading technology and media company serving Black and Brown communities, today announced the opening of its Toronto office at 20 Bay Street, marking a strategic expansion into Canada’s diverse tech and media landscape.

The new office represents a critical strengthening of the company’s mission at a time when Black communities in the United States face escalating attacks on civil rights, DEI initiatives, and economic opportunity. The Toronto expansion positions UNMUTEDCO to serve Greater Toronto’s vibrant, multicultural population while establishing a stable foundation for continued innovation and community support.

“The relentless attacks on progress for Black and marginalized communities in the United States have made this expansion not just strategic, but essential,” said Alex Haynes, Managing Partner at UNMUTEDCO. “Toronto’s commitment to diversity, inclusion, and innovation aligns perfectly with our mission. We’re not retreating—we’re reinforcing our ability to serve our community from a position of strength.”

Tiffanie Mackey, Managing Partner at UNMUTEDCO, added: “Canada has consistently demonstrated leadership in protecting civil rights and supporting diverse communities. Establishing our presence in Toronto allows us to tap into incredible talent, partner with forward-thinking organizations, and create opportunities for those who have been systematically excluded from technology and media sectors.”

About the Toronto Office

The Toronto office will serve as UNMUTEDCO’s international headquarters, focusing on:

• Technology Innovation: Advancing AI democratization through FannieLou AI and Unmuted Labs
• Media Production: Expanding NoirPlus streaming content and NoirTube creator support
• Business Services: Providing Noirworx CRM and complete business solutions to Canadian entrepreneurs
• Community Partnerships: Collaborating with Toronto-based organizations serving marginalized communities
• Talent Development: Creating opportunities for diverse technologists, creators, and business professionals

Strategic Importance

Toronto’s position as Canada’s largest city and a global tech hub offers UNMUTEDCO:

• Access to diverse, multilingual talent pools
• Proximity to major media and entertainment markets
• Strong government support for technology innovation
• Thriving Black Canadian and Caribbean diaspora communities
• Stable political environment supporting civil rights and inclusion

The office will initially focus on serving clients across Greater Toronto, with plans to expand throughout Ontario and broader Canada.

A Note for Business Owners and Community Leaders

Our leadership recognizes the harmful actions and policies deliberately targeting our communities. In response, we are committed to strengthening our capacity and expanding partnerships with organizations that prioritize and protect our communities. If you’re interested in collaborating with us, please connect with us.

A note to Indigenous Communities

Our leadership recognizes the harmful actions and policies that have long targeted Black, Brown, Indigenous, and other marginalized communities across North America. As we expand our work—including into Toronto—we also acknowledge that our growth occurs on lands stewarded since time immemorial by Indigenous Nations whose communities continue to confront the impacts of displacement, erasure, and ongoing policy harm.

We do not offer this acknowledgment as a gesture, but as a commitment. We recognize that any work to strengthen civic power, economic opportunity, and community well-being must include Indigenous sovereignty, voices, and liberation efforts. This includes honoring the histories of the territories where we operate, supporting present-day organizing, and deepening collaboration with Indigenous-led organizations whose leadership guides pathways to justice.

In response to the ongoing harm facing our communities, we are investing in greater capacity, stronger partnerships, and more accountable practices that reflect our shared responsibility to the people and lands where we serve. If you’re interested in collaborating with us, please connect with us.
