Another in the series of short pieces on the Unity Charity that I produced for my 9-5 at MTV Canada.

This one features spoken word artist Lishai.

In just one week the streets of Toronto will be taken over by the youth of the city as they take the stage for the annual Unity Festival in celebration of their art and community. Attendees of the festival can expect to see everything from the annual Beatbox competition to the Unity Break Dance event.

The festival will also include an MC & Spoken Word showcase that will feature some of Toronto’s most talented MCs. We’ve been rolling out weekly profiles on some of the amazing talent involved with Unity and next up we’d like you to meet Lishai, a Spoken Word Artist dedicated to sharing her voice within her community. Lishai has been involved with Unity as a Program Coordinator, Arts Facilitator and Event Planner. Check out her profile below and don’t miss the annual Unity Festival in Toronto July 23-26!
