Today was a good day, training teachers who are new to my youth poetry slam with the @YRDSB and then headed to the Centre of Excellence for Black Student Achievement to facilitate a workshop on how to get students writing more creatively

So far this week, I’ve done a couple of presentations for the Waterloo Catholic School Board, facilitated a workshop for #teachers with the York Region Board, and zoomed in to work with some students in Kincardine today

BIG INVITE😀 Please share far and wide!
You're Invited!
The Toronto District School Board’s (TDSB) Centre of Excellence for Black Student Achievement invites you to join us as we celebrate five years of advancing excellence, achievement, well-being, and belonging for Black students across the TDSB.
This milestone is an opportunity to celebrate the progress we have made, recognize the partners who have helped drive that progress, and invest in the next chapter of this important work.
Over the past five years, the Centre of Excellence has worked alongside students, families, educators, and community partners to create greater opportunities for Black students to achieve, lead, and thrive. This work is strengthened by organizations that share our commitment to educational equity and student success.
This event will bring together leaders, educators, community partners, and supporters for an evening of celebration, recognition, and connection.

Yesterday was all about giving back, as i lent my voice and talent to Special Olympics Hamilton and Jamaican school, Immaculate Conception High.
I have been so blessed in life that it’s always a joy when I can give back and help support others.
October 18th, Durham is the place to be as we celebrate 32 years of my career, my birthday, and the first Ontario performance of A Life in 60 Minutes.
Tix are on sale now through the link in my bio.
After the performance, there’ll be a 30 minute q&a

Please tag and share with your people in Halifax. They will have 9 opportunities to see my show, A Life in 60 Minutes
There are so many stories that we don’t tell, but too many of us are familiar with.
As a speaker and performer, I have a responsibility to explore these stories and bring people in to places, learnings, and understandings that they may not otherwise arrive at.
Grateful to the Lieutenant Governor of Alberta, Salma Lakhani, for coming through and supporting my show, A Life In 60 Minutes in Edmonton.
We had some greats about how the show touched on some of her lived experiences.
#halifax you’ll be next up to see the show
Throwing it back to the days when the book launch included an after party

If you’re going to be busy, be busy with purpose and intention.
Being busy has become a drug, and often times we say that we’re busy, but can’t say what we’ve done or achieved
Throwback to a private gig, where the owner of the venue brought out copies of my albums from their collection.
These are experiences that technology has stolen, but, we need to keep finding ways to get our work into the hands of people, not just on their phones or computers.
Since August is now Reggae Month in Toronto, here’s a throwback to my tribute to Lover’s Rock Reggae
