Cree poet Wanda John-Kehewin studied criminology, sociology, Aboriginal studies, and creative writing while attending the Writer's Studio writing program at Simon Fraser University. She uses writing as a therapeutic medium through which to understand and to respond to the near decimation of First Nations culture, language, and tradition. She has two poetry books published by Talonbooks, two children's readers and is publishing a graphic novel in early 2022. She finds time to write between the lines. She owes her journey of healing to her children who always reminded her of all the lost children out there, and if she could do her best to love these ones; then it will have been easier and a better life than previous generations. She calls Coquitlam her home, until the summertime when she treks to the plains of Alberta to visit family and learn more about Cree culture and tradition. She is currently in her first year of her MFA at UBC.

Cherry Archer is a Trinidadian-Canadian visual artist who resides in Vancouver on the unceded lands of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh nations. She studied photography at Focal Point, Vancouver and has a Diploma of Fashion Design and Technique from Sheridan College, Oakville, Ontario. She is a gardener and an avid forager whose art is strongly influenced by ecopsychology, a field which fosters ecological thinking and documents how exposure to nature benefits mental, physical, and emotional well-being. Cherry is known for her botanical ice tile photography where she uses flora, ice, and coloured light to create large-scale, highly-detailed, abstract photographs that are interpretations of emotions and sensations experienced during nature encounters.

Cherry's work has been exhibited in art  galleries and as public art across Canada.
