If only there were a way to carbon copy the ethos of Humainologie. They care deeply about their work, and even deeper about the people they work with. I consistently feel seen, supported and respected by them, as though I belong and have a place in this world.

Humainologie is a caring and thriving place that supports local artists, but not only. When I participated in the Short Story Festival, I didn't know I would be welcomed in such a wonderful community determined to participate in the positive evolution of our society. You are undeniably part of the people that make me call Calgary home; a home I am happy to live in.

As a Ghanaian woman who was born in and grew up across Alberta, these stories made me feel more seen, recognized, and celebrated in public spaces then ever before. I am excited to see Humainologie and SHADES delve into such authentic, holistic, and rich stories of our melanated sisterhood across Canada and continue this incredible momentum.
