c’est parti for a 2nd year as program coordinator & artistic director of @qtbipocmtlart — a community arts mentorship program for QTBIPOC youth aged 18-25 that i’ve had the immense privilege of creating & facilitating last year. over the next year, i will get to train & mentor these 20 youth in creative writing & performance while providing them with tools for self-empowerment & leadership. i have to say that i feel *very*blessed* that i get to do this as part of my life’s work. it feels like everything i have done & learnt over the past 15 years has led me to this present moment where i get to do what i love the most: making, doing, teaching, learning, sharing & healing in/with community ✨💖🌻💜🌈💛🌹🔥❤️ #qtbipocmtlart #qtbipocmtl #qtbipoc #art #communityarts #performance #poetry #spokenword #ourbodies #ourstories #storytelling #visualarts #artsfestival #youth #empowerment #leadership #artsfacilitation #lgbt #queer #queeryouth #lamackerel #kamalamackerel #transmontreal #transmauritius #culturalmediator #blackgirlmagic #queerartist #artsfacilitator (at Our Bodies, Our Stories: a qtbipoc arts mentorship program) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn3VdyJHV-I/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1fp9mz5ft1jex

Please go follow @qtbipocmtlart on IG! Our Bodies, Our Stories is an arts mentorship & training program for QTBIPOC youth. This project has been a decade in the making thanks to the unrelenting labour and dedication of many generations of QTBIPOCs, for whom I am grateful. I am humbled that I get to direct this project, in its first iteration. I have been working with 18 youth for the past few months & I couldn’t be more blessed! ✨💝✨ #qtbipocmtlart #qtbipocmtl #qtbipoc #art #communityarts #performance #poetry #spokenword #ourbodies #ourstories (at Montreal, Quebec)
