The story of “Stolen From Africville” outlines the rise and fall of the historic Black community of Africville Nova Scotia. Africville was a peaceful and thriving community whose roots can be traced back to the mid 1700s and the historic Underground Railroad.

However, under the guise of “development”, the Nova Scotia government bulldozed the land in 1969… In 2004 the United Nations conducted an assessment of this tragic injustice and recommended reparations for the Africville community. To this day nothing has been done.

Providing workshop discussions in Community centres, Universities, High schools, and on road.

Topics included: Media Literacy, gender roles, dating violence, peacekeeping and Cultural identity . By using the language and culture of Hip-Hop, true expression can be fostered, allowing education and understanding to grow without preaching.
