NOW ONLINE 📚 The 5th volume of our Journal of Canadian Urban Fiction (JCUF) is now available online! Visit our website's "research" section (link.in bio) to view a set of articles breaking down the social and historical intentions of our URBAN TORONTO TALES books!! . JCUF VOL 5 NO 1 (2018) - THE VALUE OF KYA PUBLISHING'S "URBAN TORONTO TALES" COLLECTION 📚 "...The identities represented in the "Urban Toronto Tales" are not a specific #BlackCanadian experience, or #CaribbeanCanadian lifestyle, but a combination of what I have observed from my own Black/#Caribbean-Canadian lens, and my interpretation of how these events play into the greater narrative of living in this country and the ways in which the cultural context impacts that experience. . Music has, and always will, play a huge factor in the development and understanding of the mood of my stories, and how I try to convey that mood. A reflection of the #urban musical experience--be it #hiphop, #RnB, #reggae, or #soca music--the stories often exist within that framework: in the presentation and enjoyment of the music as a root to understanding the culture. . As a means of understanding the experience, the culture, the music, the #racepolitics, the #identities, and the interpersonal relationships, it is just my hope that the #UrbanFiction novels of the "#UrbanTorontoTales" collection can serve as a catalyst for youth to enjoy reading, a reflection in identity construction for young people and young adults, and a documentation of the #AfricanCanadian voice in a specific space in time. . It's been 26 years, and I hope to continue to write for 26 more, as I age, as I learn, and as I continue to respect the #value of story and the importance #stories have in how history remembers even the most routine and casual of occurrences. To some of us, it is this experience that make up the beauty of our lives. . .

NEW KYA PUBLISHING AUTHOR ➡KAMILAH HAYWOOD @kwoodz29 ⬅ ON RACIALIZING THE URBAN EXPERIENCE // "It's funny because people pay attention to difference also. If that young lady hypothetically did grow up in an #UrbanCommunity, and she was #marginalized in a community, and she came out like that...who are we to judge it?" . "We all come from different walks. Unless you know the history of the person, it's really not your place to say what they should or should not be doing...race or not." . As recorded at #RyersonUniversity's @CSARyerson (Caribbean Students Association) panel discussion on #CulturalAppropriation (2017). . #UrbanToronto #BlackToronto #BlackCanadian #AfricanCanadian #CaribbeanCanadian #DiverseWriters #UrbanWriters #UrbanCulture #CanadianWriters #CanadianAuthors #UrbanFiction #caribbeanstudentsassociation
