Thank you for featuring Rene's poem and the "African Nova Scotian Women" issue of Understorey. It was a wonderful partnership! The whole issue is here: understoreymagazine.ca/?issu…
In 2017, we partnered with @understoreymag for a special edition feat. African Nova Scotian women. It was Rene Boudreau’s (founder of Elevate & Explore Black NS) first published piece. "Imagine" is today’s featured poem as we get closer to #EmancipationDay
Thank you Becky!
This is such a good piece by Katherine Barrett. I hope every #litmag editor & submitter takes a moment to read it.
