Happy Friday! Hope you guys are enjoying Issue 003 as much as we are! Today we’re bringing you a bonus article, featuring the amazingly talented Stephan James and Shamier Anderson .
Our very own Andre Harriot sat down with the brothers to discuss how they created Canada’s very first Legacy Awards, an awards show that honours “Black Canadian achievements in acting, sport and entertainment.”
“Honestly, I think for us, this has always just been about inspiration. Greatness begets greatness. I think it's very powerful for Black people to see people who look like them step on stage and give testimony to their journeys, to the trials and tribulations and everything that they can attribute to their success. That stage provides a very powerful platform to breed inspiration for generations to come. And so I hope that we do that. I hope people enjoy themselves. I hope people are able to laugh. I hope people are able to dance, have fun, love and celebrate.” - Stephan James
The Legacy Awards airs on CBC and CBC Gem on Sunday, September 25, 2022 at 8
