Angela Bowden is an African Nova Scotian poet, author, TEDx speaker, writer, and activist. A descendent of the stolen Africans sold through the transatlantic slave trade, her roots were preserved through the Black Loyalists? arrival in Birchtown and subsequent migrations to Guysborough County and New Glasgow, where she was born and raised. Her ongoing work and published book of poetry, UnSpoken Truth: unmuted and unfiltered, highlights, documents, and challenges systemic and overt racism entrenched in Nova Scotia. A strong advocate of self-care, she encourages self-love, self-empowerment, deep healing, and change. Angela writes in many genres; Black Girl, Black Girl is her first children' s book. Letitia Fraser is an interdisciplinary artist with a focus in painting and textile. Born and raised in Halifax Nova Scotia, Letitia is also a proud descendant of North Preston. She is a graduate of NSCAD University, and draws inspiration for her paintings from her family and community' s history of quilting. Her artwork has been featured in exhibits at the Black Cultural Centre of Nova Scotia, the Freedom Festival Art Exhibit, in magazines and books, and has received the Nova Scotia Arts Endowment Fund Scholarship and the 2018 RBC Emerging Artist Award from Nova Scotia Talent Trust. She was longlisted for the 2022 Sobey Art Award. Fraser continues her practice in Halifax, NS.
