Nadine Williams, a native of St. Mary Parish, Jamaica, is an Award Winning Poet, Author and entrepreneur. She credits her success to the humble beginnings of reading under the kerosene lamplight to her family as a child, coupled with being reared by witty grandparents who spoke in parables all the time. Her current project is poetry on canvas, which has been used as a tool to support racialized students within Ontario. Permanent installations of her art can be found throughout various school boards, corporations as well as Mount Sinai Hospital. Recently, a sizable corporate purchase was made of Us Women and was donated to a Women’s Shelter. She continues to work on ways of getting out her messages of empowerment, cultural identity, inspiration and violence prevention.
We are very excited to hear her speak to our SEY community on February 2, 2022.
