Today we recognize the life and legacy of Malcolm X.

A powerful voice for justice, critical thinking, and self-determination, Malcolm X challenged people to pursue knowledge, question systems, and understand the importance of education in shaping our future.

His words and leadership continue to inspire conversations around identity, community, and empowerment.

As we reflect on his legacy, we’re reminded that education is not only about information, but transformation.

“The future belongs to those who prepare for it today.”

We’re proud to congratulate Angela Bowden as the 2026 recipient of the DBDLI Sponsored Residency at Jampolis Cottage in partnership with the Writers’ Federation of Nova Scotia.

Angela Bowden is an African Nova Scotian author, poet, activist, and storyteller from the historic community of Vale Road, New Glasgow. A seventh-generation descendant of Black Loyalists, her work explores identity, healing, joy, and the power of Black storytelling across generations.

During her four-week residency, Angela will continue work on her manuscript-in-progress, Dear Sis, I’m Sorry, a braided literary memoir rooted in African Nova Scotian inheritance and a diasporic return to Ghana.

DBDLI is honoured to support Black storytelling, creative exploration, and literary excellence through this important residency opportunity.

Congratulations, Angela 🙌🏽✨
