Kingsway Interview: Gabrielle Rose and Camille Sullivan
“Also telling our stories is really important for young people in Canada. All of the diversity, all of the multiculturalism, all those stories need to be told so that we have, we feel our identity. We feel really proud of our identity, so let’s have it reflected in our art.”
