Shelly Grace, a graduate of North Lambton Secondary School and a Toronto based spoken word poet and photographer, will share her story and deliver a performance of her poetry.
She uses her art for community building and healing and focuses on the experiences of women and the Black community. She previously released a chapbook, "Sisters in Stanzas", with fellow poet Desiree McKenzie in 2020 which sold out very quickly. In 2019 she won the Canadian Festival of Spoken Word, while on the Up From The Roots slam team, becoming a National Spoken Word Champion. She currently is on the Toronto Poetry Slam team and is on the board for SpeakNorth, Canada’s biggest slam poetry organization. The summer of 2020 her piece “Atlantic” was shared with CBC Arts. She has worked with TTC, Toronto District School Board, and more.
