CARNIVAL SPOTLIGHT // Toronto’s former reggae dancehall princess Delia Chinn is drawn back into a seductive party lifestyle when she meets Jessica and Victor, members of the Groovy Massive soca dance group. Although Delia’s self-esteem is on the rise, it’s at the expense of her relationship with Ryan and their five-year marriage...a marriage that may not survive her first carnival season. // KYA PUBLISHING (2014)

Toronto Raptors, Say It Loud: Interview with Savanna Hamilton

By -

The concept of community has evolved this year. So many conditions have been equally restricted, and hopes for simple freedoms and joys that we "used to" experience are felt collectively. Here in Toronto. Across Canada, and worldwide. Fortunately, on July 30, one of the joys that returned after a four month pandemic-hiatus was the basketball season...and our hometown reigning NBA champion Toronto Raptors are now in the middle of the Eastern Conference semi-finals against the Boston Celtics (who won tonight's game 102-99 and are now leading the series 2-0). As a part of the sports community, we are all engaged in the events taking place within the NBA. It is a part of our daily routine. As members of the global community--and citizens of this city in particular--we all have a role to play in terms of supporting, endorsing, and translating the messages and wishes of our officials. This includes government representatives in some cases, but also of the community leaders and

Redefining Toronto, the "Screwface" Capital

It is time to eradicate the use of "Screwface Capital" in reference to the city of Toronto. The power of a great brand is undeniable, which is why I do not understand why so many have adopted and perpetuated the use of "Screwface Capital" to define a city that they love, and represent proudly to the world. Screwface by definition: -a mean face -a dirty look -an ice grill -to gawk -to scowl -deeply pissed off -highly intoxicated -a dirty or inappropriate facial expression -revealing nothing As a brand/nickname, "Screwface Capital" is definitely memorable...but is it favourable? Hardly. To say that we believe we are the "Screwface Capital" is to say that we don't think much of ourselves. Canadians in general have always struggled with defining our identity. Defining our culture and our people in relation to the Americans, in relation to the British, and accurately reflecting what we believe about ourselves. To promote the fact that we as Canadi

Movie Review: Annie (2014) aka "Black Annie"

The new 2014 feature film version of the 1982 hit movie Annie was fabulous, and I enjoyed every minute of it because of the nostalgia wrapped up with familiar music and cultural advancement. It warmed my heart. "Black Annie" (ever since the Saturday Night Live sketch, I can refer to it as nothing else, lol) follows the original plot, where a foster kid hopelessly waiting for her parents to return for her stumbles into some luck when she connects with one of the richest men in town. Given the opportunity to spend some time with him, she manages to win the ol' guy over with her charm, escape foster care forever, and dance her way into a happy and secure future filled with true love. Nothing has changed, story wise. The sadness of the orphanage/foster home and the meanness of the foster mother are still the same. Annie's optimism and mischief are familiar. But what happens with this version is that society has changed, and some of the old elements have a new swi
