A few thoughts on the issues of the day, as an artist

October 18th, Durham is the place to be as we celebrate 32 years of my career, my birthday, and the first Ontario performance of A Life in 60 Minutes. Tix are on sale now through the link in my bio. After the performance, there’ll be a 30 minute q&a upfromtheroots.ticketspice.c…

Please tag and share with your people in Halifax. They will have 9 opportunities to see my show, A Life in 60 Minutes

There are so many stories that we don’t tell, but too many of us are familiar with. As a speaker and performer, I have a responsibility to explore these stories and bring people in to places, learnings, and understandings that they may not otherwise arrive at.

Grateful to the Lieutenant Governor of Alberta, Salma Lakhani, for coming through and supporting my show, A Life In 60 Minutes in Edmonton. We had some greats about how the show touched on some of her lived experiences. #halifax you’ll be next up to see the show

Throwing it back to when I visited Comuna 13 while performing in Medellin, Colombia

Throwing it back to the days when the book launch included an after party #throwback

From Scarborough to Edmonton, I am so excited to be bringing this show to the @edmontonfringe If you love good storytelling, this show has something for everyone! Use the link in the bio to secure your tickets to A Life In 60 Minutes #spokenword #storytelling #edmontonfringe

If you’re going to be busy, be busy with purpose and intention. Being busy has become a drug, and often times we say that we’re busy, but can’t say what we’ve done or achieved

Throwback to a private gig, where the owner of the venue brought out copies of my albums from their collection. These are experiences that technology has stolen, but, we need to keep finding ways to get our work into the hands of people, not just on their phones or computers.

Since August is now Reggae Month in Toronto, here’s a throwback to my tribute to Lover’s Rock Reggae youtu.be/xBhEZhKHU0Y?si=Obzd… #reggae #loversrock #poetry #spokenword #aimusic

There are so many stories that we embody, and I am excited to share some of mine with the good people in Edmonton. My show, A Life in 60 Minutes will be at the @edmontonfringe and I encourage you to come out and be a part of the story!

What did you do, if anything, to try to survive being seen as different? My attempt didn’t go so well. #belonging #diversity #race

Happy Independence Day to my favourite place on earth; Jamaica! #jamaica #jamaicanindependence

If you’ve got people in #Edmonton please let them know that I’m bringing my new show, A Life in 60 Minutes, to the @edmontonfringe #spokenword #poetry

This year’s Emancipation Day Train Ride was another great success. Thank you to the Blackhurst Cultural Centre, TTC, volunteers, musicians, and community for making it all happen

With everything happening around us, what are your thoughts on #ai #creativity #art and where one begins or ends? Are there still clear lines?? What do you think?

EDMONTON; I can’t wait to share my new show with you @edmontonfringe My people, if you know people, artists, groups, or organizations in Edmonton that would rock with me, please tag them so we can start building! #edmonton #edmontonfringe #60minuteswithdwayne

a quick reflection on my work and career, while I soak in my experience here in Colombia

Happy Canada Day!
