This is the sixth episode of I Am Black History brought to you by In The Black:Canada, DeeP Visions Media, and a grant from the Canada Council for the Arts. In this episode, meet Chantal Martineau who was born in Halifax, Nova Scotia but grew up in Montreal, Quebec. Chantal is a journalist who has written about food, wine, spirits, and culture including two books about Mexico. Chantal shares her realization that although she has looked at other people’s culture, she has not put the spotlight on her own. Listen as Chantal talks about her family history, her experiences of growing up Black in Montreal, and her journey to the East Coast of Canada that got her thinking more about her own culture. Chantal's poem titled It's Not My Childhood was recently published by Understory Magazine and she is currently working on a novel set in Africville, Nova Scotia.
