A Kitchener-based 22-year-old writer, musician, performer and activist, studying English at WLU. She recently co-wrote and directed her first musical called ‘Rooted’ about a community of friends at university. She believes that sharing art is a wonderfully life-affirming act that helps communities to flourish. Janice believes in the power of language, the truth of emotion, and that bicycles will save the world. For real. SPEAKout was her first slam poetry performance.
