In the 2020 pandemic, I joined virtual writing groups with Black comedians to sharpen my material and stay connected. Some were surprised to meet a Black comic from Canada and kept asking: “What’s it like to be Black in Canada?” Great question. So I wrote about it… then I wondered what it’s like to be Black in different parts of the country. (Poster design: @boyalmighty)

In 2024, I received my first performance-related grants, including the ARTicipate Award. The rest was self-funded and funded by vendor contributions. I hired an an event planning company that sourced a social media coordinator, a graphic designer, videographer, photographer, and DJ. (Original photo by: @TruthPix)
