ALICIA “ACE” WEST, SANKOFA DAY HOST

The dynamic Alicia "ACE" West is our host for Sankofa Day, with exciting travel giveaways from Intrepid Travel.

Alicia “Ace” West is an on-air personality, podcaster, and sports host from Toronto. She is the host of “Ace and Marlon in the Morning,” the newest morning radio show on Flow 98.7. Alicia hosts a parenting podcast called “Wait…I’m a Mom?!” where she chats with notable mothers about their journey to and through motherhood. Formerly a co-host on the wildly popular podcast Extra Gravy Show, you can catch Ace making history on the field side of the pitch as the stadium host for the Northern Super League’s AFC Toronto, the first professional women’s soccer league in Canada.

A true trailblazer, Alicia was the sole female PA announcer for Canada’s CEBL Scarborough Shooting Stars, in-stadium host for Toronto Argos and founded "Just Ace It" — empowering youth and women of colour to achieve their goals through initiatives like the Love Yourz Project and an annual Back-To-School drive. Her impressive career across Detroit, New York, and D.C. includes collaborations with industry giants like Russell Simmons and Will Smith.

Named among 2019's Top 100 Black Women in Canada and a BumbleBizz Top 25 Trailblazing Women in Toronto, Alicia "ACE" West is the perfect host for our vibrant celebration.
