This week on @ctnpodcast we chat with Haligonian storyteller and director @cazhblanche, live at @commongood4all . Cazhhmere has worked with artists like @BackstreetBoys, @JuicyJ and @Classifiedhiphop and she joins us for a deep Q&A session. With questions like: 'How do you define the word artist?', ‘Why are East Coast creatives being held back?' and ‘How do we fix the racial divide in Nova Scotia?', we go IN! Joseph Huyer starts the show with an acknowledgement of the land. Later on we chat with @Emmairenepaulson, @kaymackd and @shevyprice of Rising Youth Halifax about @themagicproject_ and providing resources for Halifax creatives.
