Lua Shayenne is: Ghanian? Italian? Canadian? | August 25, 2015

"..I'm Canadian Now. Yes. I Am A Canadian!..."

Lua perfectly blends many influences, histories and ambitions. She is like a careful blend resulting in a great wine - in many ways the perfect Canadian. She's comfortable in her skin and her identity. She mixes ambition, generosity, edginess and a relaxed attitude. We both became a bit emotional when she told me the story of her parents and their sacrifice so she can make her way to Canada. What a wonderful, quintessential story of an immigrant starting life in a new country.
