May 16, 2023: Celebrating Black Mothers w/ Ceta Gabriel

Ceta Gabriel, otherwise known as SimpliCita, was the 2022 Quebec Writers Federation award winner of the special edition of the Fresh Pages initiative of the Words and Music Show, curator of the Choosing Joy Show and the Sista Sista 7to 11pm event, a Yoga teacher & health and wellness coach with a background in Arts and Science at Concordia University.

Gabriel is a multi-disciplinary artist, student of life, a mother of two and a partner of 19+ years. Among other things, she is recognized for her compassion, love of the beauty in excellence, the arts, her ability to transcend all obstacles and dedication to uplifting marginalized communities. Ceta has been a liaison with Family Resource Coordination for multiple families on the island, including her home borough of the Historic Black Community of Little Burgundy.

As an artist she focuses on various aspects of personal development, including movement, writing, oral histories and personal narratives. This includes, but is not limited to self-directed learning exercises, understanding and healing intergenerational trauma, and life visioning through creative exploration.

Ceta facilitates and documents the multi-layered learning processes of self-directed exploration. Oral histories play a crucial part in capturing the authentic voice of "personal healing" and she believes this voice can be used to empower others who can relate to these issues.
