My name is Tianna Edwards (she/her), I am a part-time Master's student in the Cultural Studies department at Queen's. This episode is an introduction to a series of interviews with Black folks who live or have lived in Kingston, Ontario. The purpose of this episode is to give you a bit of context on myself so you know where I am coming from as we move through the series. I mention the blog post that started this journey in this episode. Here is the link to that blog post, Being Black in Kingston: https://keepupwithkingston.com/2020/05/30/being-black-in-kingston/. I also share a spoken word from a project two years ago. Here is a link to the project: https://www.abolitiondreaming.com/black-abolition-and-dreaming.
