Kym Dominique-Ferguson is a poet, writer, theater performer and filmmaker, a radio host, and a producer: frankly, a true Renaissance man! More importantly, this year, he is Mr. May. Yes, Kym is Laureate of the month of May for the 2023 calendar of Black History Month, under the theme Out of Darkness, Into the Light. 
It is such an honor for us to showcase such a force in the black community in Montreal, and to see the fruit of his labor being recognized and rewarded. During the show, Kym shared with us how important it is to seek what is truly ours, to believe in ourselves, to shoot our shot! It was so fitting to have Kym as a repeat guest on the podcast.
Kym took us behind the curtains of the play BLACKOUT: The Concordia Computer Protests 50 Years Later which is being put out this spring. Our brother is officially a published author!
His The #DearBlackMan Project, is getting closer and closer to completion, as well as his novel.
For over a decade Kym has serenaded Montréal and international audiences with his blending of spoken word poetry and theater. He successfully produced and performed his first one-man show to a sold-out audience back in August of 2015: The Born Jamhaitianadian. Kym has also been a radio show host on Soul Perspectives since 2012, a show which talks about the issues affecting the Black community in Montreal, across Canada and internationally.

Brittney is a clinical counselor, a certified meditation guide, and a registered yoga teacher. Meditation, Yoga (Philosophy and Asanas), cognitive psychology, neurobiology, and counseling have been the tools that have helped her to befriend her suffering and sometimes heal from it. 
Her connection to meditation and Yoga began to deepen about 10 years ago in an attempt to heal from workplace burnout and maladaptive coping strategies. For the last 4 years, she has been sharing the physical practice of Yoga and meditation with folks from all walks of life through her online community Mindfully Being Well, as a corporate wellness facilitator, and as a trauma-informed Yoga teacher trainer at Yoga Outreach. Now, as a trauma-informed clinical counselor, she works collaboratively with clients utilizing mind-body connection and relationship to support full body, heart, and mind healing and integration. 
In the context of mindfulness, mediation, and Yoga, Brittney feels that it is important to locate herself within a sociocultural context to acknowledge that these sacred philosophies and practices are not part of her ethnic or cultural heritage.
Brittney is originally from a rural community in the interior of what is colonially known as British Columbia. Her father's family came to Turtle Island from what was then Prussia at the end of the 1700s. They were Mennonite pacifists and were fleeing religious persecution and military inscription. Her mother's parents are of Irish, Scottish, German, British, and Cowichan descent. She was the first in her immediate family to graduate high school, university. 
Brittney’s understanding, practice, and teaching of mindfulness, meditation and Yoga are earnest and with deep gratitude for her teachers' teachers. 
You can join the Mindfully Being Well community and monthly virtual community meditations from the website or on Instagram @mindfully_being_well  or Facebook: Mindfully Being Well.
