‘Canada’s Queen of R&B/Soul’ and a true Canadian icon, Jully Black is a platinum-selling singer-songwriter, producer and actress who also founded a health, wellness and lifestyle organization. She has been named one of ‘The 25 Greatest Canadian Singers Ever’ (CBC Music); a Juno Award winner, Gemini Award winner, Toronto Theatre Critics Award and Dora Mavor Moore Award recipient, celebrated morning television host, Canada’s Walk of Fame inductee and television and musical stage actress of resolute faith and conviction.
A one-hour writing session for her to write words from her heart as a rite of passage. Some short writing prompts and sharing.
Writing from one’s own personal experience and her story begins a journey to support one’s own health, vision and creative inspiration. It is an act of self-discovery – she picks up a pen and out spills a truth that she may not have known she was even carrying. A written truth is an awakening. A shared truth ignites a flame within the listeners to begin a journey towards her own dreams and light.
The session is led by graduates of the She Rites Program of Achieve Potential.
