Nationally recognized and award-winning, 2019 CFSW Poet of Honour Distinction recipient and TEDTalk Speaker, Mahlikah The Moonrise Poet “moonrises wellsprings of revolution, rest and resistance within liminal space through the mysticism of cosmology and star divination healing practices rooted in Afro-Indigenous ways of knowing, doing & being for modern day mindfulness.”

Mahlikah cultivates social change through spoken word, arts education, performance art, futurist writing, digital art and mindfulness coaching.

Mahlikah is the acting Director of Programming for Neighbourhood Impact at the Centre of Learning & Development, Art Educator with The Art Gallery Of Ontario, Faculty Member for the Wildseed Centre’s Black Arts Fellowship, and a 2022 Institute for Radical Permission Fellow lead by transformative thought leaders Sonya Renee Taylor and Adrienne maree brown.

Northern Star Mahlikah’s artistic contribution to Hush Harbour Press’s Speech Sounds Episode One: The Art of Listening: Spoken Word’s Black Origins, was inspired by their reverence for the medicine we carry in oral utterances, threaded in poignant pauses of deeper innerstandings. The series launches Fall of 2022.

Mahlikah is currently based in Toronto, Canada.
