In the fall of 2020, the Fabienne Colas Foundation put out a call for entries from young filmmakers for a series called Being Black in Canada. Recently, the four filmmakers who made up the Being Black in Halifax entry won the Canadian Screen Award for Best Direction in a Documentary series. The winners included Lily Nottage, Dena Williams, Tyler Simmonds and Kardeisha Provo who's entry was titled North Preston: The Untold Story. Spliting her time between Toronto and her home community of North Preston, Provo has been focussing on storytelling and sharing her perspective growing up in the largest Black community in Canada. African Nova Scotian history is our collective history and she's been working to re-frame the narrative that is lost to negative press and old prejudices. Kardeisha Provo is one of many Black Nova Scotia artists who are finding their voices and are being recognized for their talent.
