It was a pleasure for the Talent Trust to be at the concert of Afro-Metis Nation. Thank you Juanita Peters for the invitation.

Afro-Metis Nation celebrates their African Nova Scotian and Metis heritage through music and words. 

Former scholarship recipient George Elliott Clarke impressed with his poems and singing voice. 

We also finally met Chris White, nephew of Portia White. Chris and his family have donated Portia White CDs to the Talent Trust to help fund the annual Portia White Award given out by the Talent Trust.
