My chosen family taught me to be proud in myself and not fear protecting my Pride! Now I get to twirl on stage for many and celebrate myself through the art of Drag. With Freddie, I am protecting my Pride and my body with PrEP. © Keith Haring Foundation. Licensed by @artestarnyc , New York’

A star is reborn. With an outsize stage presence that eclipsed R&B greats like Etta James and Little Richard, Black trans soul singer Jackie Shane was the real deal. After mysteriously vanishing from public view for almost 40 years, this little-known icon is given her ultimate due in Michael Mabbott and Lucah Rosenberg-Lee’s remarkable documentary portrait Any Other Way: The Jackie Shane Story, executive produced by Elliot Page. I am so honoured to play young Jackie Shane in the feature film Any Other Way: The Jackie Shan Story. It was not only an honour to play Jackie but a dream to play a black trans role as young black trans woman myself. Not only is the film the life story of Jackie Shane but a story of never giving up, what it means to love, and how love can sometimes also hurt. I will be at the @hotdocs_ theatre this Saturday for a viewing and Q&A of the film. I hope to see you there!

Make your kind of music 🎶🤎✨ Last Friday, February 9, we hosted Jane Finch’s Black Women Leaders Panel. @negroella @kibramusic @smileforsache & @makayla.couture ! 🎉 We learned about their stories and journeys navigating different industries and how they take up space + make their mark. With guests coming from all parts of the Greater Toronto Area, the panel ended with all of us feeling inspired by our role models’ greatness. 🤩 Be sure to follow each of them as they thrive in their work! We will be releasing snippets/recordings from the panel soon as well! 👀 We have TWO events left for our #FlauntItFridays #BlackFuturesMonth programming! Join us and RSVP at www.flauntit.ca/BHM2024 🥳 #blackhistorymonth #blackheritagemonth #blackwomenleaders #blackwomenleadership #melaninmagic #torontoevents #bipocmakers
