It’s been a while since I connected. I wanted to check in and bring you something special. On July 17, 2022, I had the opportunity to collaborate with my dear friend Sabre to put on an intimate celebration for our friend Rachel Romu – you might remember Rachel from our December 2019 episode featuring their story – the last in-person conversation I conducted before the world in a dramatic way.

You can call Rachel a musician, activist and model, yet they are so much more. They’re a friend, confidant and true trailblazer in every definition of the word. This summer, Accessible Media Inc. launched an incredible documentary series called Breaking Character, following the journeys of six performers with disabilities as they hustle to make their mark on the stage, screen and runway. Rachel is one of the featured subjects and shares their story with authenticity, intention, and impact. We dove deeper with Rachel at a screening party of the series, and a special chat between them and I followed. What a beautiful day. Thank you, Rachel, Sabre and all those who attended, watched, and supported this fantastic project from AMI.

This interview was recorded live in Rachel’s backyard in Toronto; the traditional territory of many nations including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee and the Wendat peoples and is now home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples. We also acknowledge that Toronto is covered by Treaty 13 with the Mississaugas of the Credit.

Thanks for listening to our conversation and being in the Fold with us!

You can connect with and learn more about Rachel via Instagram and Twitter (@rachelromu) more resources, check out their linktree at linktr.ee/rachelromu. To watch Breaking Character, check It out at www.breakingcharacter.tv and follow them on socials via Instagram and Twitter.

Special shoutout to Sabre for inviting me to do this and the reminder of how important it is to have these conversations!

What a true honour to be in The Fold and close out the CommUNITY Catchup series with Len Senater, Owner + Founder of Toronto's The Depanneur. Nestled in Toronto’s Dufferin Grove neighbourhood, it is not only a stomping ground for local and visitor chefs alike, and of many Diasporas to gather, cook, share recipes, tradition and conversation, but a place to cook up change.

If you don’t know about the Depanneur, they are part of the definition of ‘community’ in Toronto terms and beyond. I have long wanted to have Len on the podcast after reading about The Dep’s incredible initiative, Newcomer Kitchen, many years ago. Len co-founded the initiative, a non-profit that aimed to create social and economic opportunities for newly-arrived Syrian women through food-based projects. From his ever-popular Pick-up Dinners that break barriers beyond borders, pre-pandemic cooking classes, supper clubs, and events, Len’s space is a support system that cooks up knowledge and brings it to your table.

Now, Len is asking the people to be the plate and serve support through a new Kickstarter campaign to help fund The Depanneur Cookbook; Showcasing 100 recipes from 100 cooks that have come through The Dep (as it is affectionately known) kitchen over the last 10 years. It has become the most-funded Canadian cookbook ever on the platform (now at 200% of its goal reached, aiming for $50K by December 21st - Len’s 50th Birthday!)

Equal parts documentary, manifesto and cookbook, it will feature amazing stories, thoughtful contributions from some of Canada’s top people in food, and photography by Ksenija Hotic, who has been involved with The Dep for 7 years.

Len and Ksenija joined me for the last CommUNITY Catchup to discuss bringing people together through food, how small businesses can be a mode of activism, food security and support systems, and how compassion, empathy and dialogue really make for a great recipe.

Liz Lokre is one of the most soulful and soul-driven artists from Toronto that comes from a line of artists and members of the global entertainment industry – her Dad was a booking agent in his native Dublin, Ireland while her Trinidadian-born mom was a professional Indian dancer and performer, and her grandmother was a progenitor of a signature style of Indian dance. Liz carries this lineage with her in a profound and powerful way as a tool to heal. In this CommUNITY Catchup with the Toronto Artist, we discuss her new EP - FIRE - and how she has been using this element to fuel the EP and other facets of her life and career through heritage, community and collaboration.

Rhandy Adolphe, Founder and lead Photographer of SambaRanthony, is an incredible purveyor of the arts and multimedia creative I met at a podcast program last year. If you’ve tuned in to CommUNITY Catchup before, you’ve definitely seen his handle, @sambaranthony, in the live chat, engaging with our community members – needless to say, Rhandy is an amazing friend and support system and I am inspired by his unique vision.

In addition to being an incredible photographer that captures many subjects and themes in an array of settings, Rhandy has his own podcast and media platform, Lupinore, which showcases Canadian lifestyle and social movements through art and music, and in discussion via the Just Facts Podcast where Rhandy and his partner, Yene, dive into happenings and roots of Toronto’s arts scene through candid, engaging conversations. As well as a branding team member of Toronto-based LOUD.army collective. Rhandy does SO much for his community and beyond, so I brought him into The Fold to discuss what has been keeping him inspired + creative and how he has been adapting his platform model in a meaningful way.

On May 13, half of The [204] Design Collective returned for a #CommUNITYCatchup, and it was a real full circle experience. Last year I introduced them on episode 10 stating, “For The [204] Design Collective, the roof is not made of wood - it’s a glass ceiling - and they’re smashing it to let the light shine through.” Founded in Winnipeg (hence the 204 area code in their name) but based worldwide, the 204 is a POC and women-led design studio that challenges and exposes inequality in the built environment, amplifying the voices of marginalized communities and exploring alternative forms of practicing architecture, working towards establishing a more accessible and diverse profession. The Toronto-based crew, Cait Brock and Gaby Perezanta, discussed what the collective has been up to, what has changed for them, and how they are adapting to space and time by bringing The [204] to an expanded, accessible digital realm and what we can stay mindful of when it comes to our environment and design. Much love to the other half, super sisters, Sameera and Saira Abdulrehman who represented via London, UK!

Brothers Shaunt and Raz have offered community through coffee and music in Toronto’s Queen West neighbourhood and beyond since opening the doors of Antikka Café & Records a few years ago. I interviewed the guys in January for Episode 19 and at the time, they were preparing to launch a new endeavour – The Oud & The Fuzz – another community-focused space in Kensington Market, this time offering a part of their own; inviting locals and visitors alike to experience elements of their Armenian heritage through food, drink, music and good company.

I have had the honour of playing some of my first DJ gigs at Antikka and these brothers are like brothers to me – never at a loss for support, an encouraging conversation, a comforting beverage at the café and a space where you can feel at home, connected to culture.

Nothing is stopping Antikka from keeping the good vibes up and they’re doing so in various ways; the cafe is still open for takeout coffee and tea at 960 Queen Street West, they're selling their carefully-curated vinyl, and bringing the space to you with Antikka Live, which can now be streamed weekly via Mixcloud.com/live/antikka. I caught up with Shaunt and Raz to hear about what has been keeping them inspired, how they're engaging with the community, reflecting on the value artists and creatives hold and why the meaning of #supportlocal will transcend time and space.

Trevor Twells is one of the most “championing” people I know.

Every time I see Trevor, it’s usually at an event where we’re both supporting a mutual friend or cause. He is on the front lines of unconditional support. Not only is he one of the most genuinely kind people in the local arts scene, he gives back effortlessly, mostly done through his own non-profit, Make Room, enabling marginalized and emerging artists to reach audiences when they don’t have the resources or access to do so.

You may remember Trevor from Episode 14 of The Fold Podcast. That’s when we initially discussed his initiative, The Space Project, where artists submit their work to be exhibited in partner gallery windows. One cool element is the time; you only experience the art between 9 pm and 4 am, and it’s all done through a projector. Completely subsidized, accessible and engaging people in a unique time of day.

Trevor is holding space for artists, helping them to grow, removing labels and breaking barriers to creativity. Trevor was on Episode 14 of The Fold, so today I wanted to have him unfold for a CommUNITY Catchup to talk about how and why Make Room has been continuing to support artists – and #SupportCollection, the fundraiser he is running to continue creating resources for the arts community. You can contribute to the #SupportCollection here until May 4.

On April 21, I had an awesome #CommUNITYCatchup with Bo Large, aka The Alshemist, into the The Fold to discuss a variety of wellness practices we can incorporate into our daily lives, especially as artists and creatives.

The one thing unifying us all in this process is that no matter the difference in challenge, we are all facing some type of it, or need to face things in our lives in a raw, real way. My op is that isolation is probably one of the most unfit words for this period of time because in actual fact, we're not alone. With that being said, Ola set up a weekly Instagram live series to speak with existing and newly welcome members of the Sonic Fold community (including those connected to music and beyond), on how they are cultivating connection during this time. On April 14, dear pal Sabre joined Ola on the livestream. Originally from San Diego, California with life and career experience in LA, Sabre made the move to Toronto three years ago to explore her art and many talents – which is why she can be dubbed a ‘creatrix’ Sabre is a vocalist that has performed and worked with an array of local and international artists and producers, and experimented with various sounds and styles, yet offers her own signature blend of neo-soul, r&b, jazz, pop, and beyond, at times inflected by reggae and hip hop. She can do it all. We discussed her approach of choosing love over fear 24/7, how this acts as a foundation in her work, a recent online collab for IsoLab, created by award-winning producer, Rainer, and sharing insight with other artists on how they can share their art and explore opportunities to build and create with others in a meaningful way.
