Black & Rural is a nationally funded artistic inquiry into the hearts minds of black folks tucked away on Canada’s countryside . Through this project, Shayna aims to seek out, honour and theatrically showcase stories from rural based Blacks (like herself) and to defy the monolith of what matters to Black Lives.
