Скачать или смотреть Media, Music, and Making It in Alberta: Nigel J. Williams Keeps It Real

In this episode of Chop It Up, we’re joined by Nigel J. Williams, a powerhouse in Alberta’s creative scene. He’s a vocalist, event curator, and CEO of Melanistic Magazine, a platform that’s redefined what Black representation looks like in Western Canada.

From singing in church as a kid to launching one of Alberta's few Black-led media platforms, Nigel opens up about legacy, culture, and doing the work when no one’s watching. He explains why Edmonton still has a long way to go, what it takes to build community, and how he’s using media to amplify the next generation of artists.

🎧 This episode is for the visionaries, the builders, and anyone who’s had to create the space they wish existed.
