Meet our Keynote Speaker

Kay Williams

Kay Williams (Your Grace, They/She) is the creator of the Black Love and Care Ethic, an invitational framework that holds the intention and willingness to disrupt the impacts of anti-black racism from a place that centers the vastness of what is possible when the needs, dreams, and abundance of Blackness and Black peoples are tended to and affirmed.

Black lifemaking is their art. Your Grace now lives and learns as an interdisciplinary artist Awo, an emerging potter and quiltmaker on the lands ancestrally stewarded by the Mississaugas of Scugog Island under the Williams Treaty east of T’karΓ³n:to/Toronto.
