test Thandiwe McCarthy est un poète afro-canadien de la septième génération, écrivain, conférencier et correspondant culturel pour le magazine Maritime EDIT, où il met en lumière les chefs de file et les artistes de la communauté noire. Connu pour ses spectacles uniques de « Vibe Harvesting », il crée spontanément de la poésie lors d’événements organisés dans les Maritimes.
Thandiwe has co-founded the New Brunswick Black Artists Alliance and organized the provincial event Emancipation Celebration. He played a key role in having August 1st recognized as Emancipation Day in New Brunswick. Though he has stepped back from volunteer work, his contributions have left a lasting impact on the community.
The "Still Here Initiative," celebrating fifteen generational Black New Brunswick families, is gearing up for a national art exhibition at the Beaverbrook Art Gallery and a globally distributed book published by Goose Lane Editions, both launching in July 2025.
Thandiwe's memoir, "Social Oblivion: Raised Black in New Brunswick," is available now.
