Peace Akintade-Oluwagbeye

Peace Akintade-Oluwagbeye is an African-Canadian Interdisciplinary poet, public speaker, chorus-poem playwright, and thespian residing in Saskatoon Saskatchewan. Organically from Yorubaland Nigeria, Peace explores the intersectionality of the artist community from an explorer’s perspective, dipping her honey-stained fingers into poetry, dance, performance art, critical research, and the theatre world. Her poems express her undying love for ironic justice, motivational banter, the dimmed light of Africa’s internal dilemma, and the trouble of cultural barriers.
