Welcome to episode 12 of Season 3 of the I Am Black History podcast brought to you by InTheBlack:Canada (ITBC) and DeeP Visions Media. I was fortunate enough to be introduced to Shayna Jones by Carol Lafayette-Boyd last summer when travelling west. I interviewed Shayna over Zoom from her home in Kaslo, British Columbia. Shayna is an award winning, professional, performance artist specializing in the traditional oral storytelling of African and Afro-Diasporic folklore. Shayna is also the creator and lead on an amazing project called Black and Rural which she talked about here with us and, if you want to know more, check out her website https://www.wearestoryfolk.com/
