I chanced upon the following whilst surfing (in Birmingham).
"Nadia Chaney is a poet, writer and
arts-based empowerment facilitator focusing on issues of identity, diversity,
participatory
process and non-violence. Her workshops have reached many communities,
from Portland OR to Cortez Island, BC to Johannesburg, South Africa.
She has worked with youth in detention, rehab, on probation, in foster
care, in US “failing schools," in local community centers, at camps, at
conferences, and at almost every school in the BC Lower Mainland. She
was named one of BC’s 100 most influential Indo-Canadians in 2008."
Nadia Chaney - an emcee, poet, musician, budding
novelist,
and multimedia visual artist who loves to dance and imagine.
She brings
clarity, compassion, gentle critical intelligence, exuberant
creativity
and a solid foundation of love, non-violence and respect. Her
arts empowerment
work includes violence prevention, unity-work, hip hop classes
in detention
centres, self care-for-employability programs, a massive
car-free volunteer-run
festival, and lots more. Nadia mostly works in collective,
non-profit
scenarios, but is also interested in enlightened for-profit
work. http://www.beatboard.org/members/nadia_chaney/index.html
She is the late Colonel Edwin's grand-daughter and has had a remarkable career
in the arts.
