Come celebrate a night of performance, writing and community. Entry is pay what you can.

Asiah Sparks is an African Nova Scotian creative, storyteller, spoken word artist, and community advocate from Dartmouth, with roots in the historic Black community of Lake Loon. Their work explores themes of love, identity, healing, and truth, centering joy, vulnerability, and the richness of Black experiences. Through storytelling and community engagement, Asiah creates spaces for reflection, dialogue, and creative expression. A former Youth Poet Laureate of Halifax and recipient of both the Provincial and HRM Volunteer of the Year Awards, Asiah currently serves as a Community Educator with the Youth Project, supporting 2SLGBTQIA+ youth across Nova Scotia.

Ready for the weekend! by @sunil_sarwal

Here's the full spread and layout, front and back, that I did for @writersfedofns's first issue of Terra Nova Scotia.

The cover, called “Bluenose V”, bridges our seafaring past to our spacefaring future, because Nova Scotians will always be sailors. The illustration was created with paper, pencil, and Photoshop. No AI or AI tools were used in its making. by @sunil_sarwal

Had an amazing time at @tricon.hfx this weekend!
