The ShaddCaryCentre builds on the principles of her legacy, focusing on more inclusive journalism in Canada through research, education & more.

Super happy to announce that 'Bam Bam: The Sister Nancy Story' (Bam Bam: The Story of Sister Nancy) will be having its world premiere at the 2024 Tribeca Film Festival. I was able to work as one of the production designers and was super excited to be able to execute some of the ideas I had!

I really wish Black women didn’t have to keep reminding some of you, we are human too.

Decolonization started the moment colonizers arrived. Our ancestors resisted. It did not start with theorizing by academics at universities
