Marjuan Canday talks Callaloo with Madame Noire

Check out our spotlight feature in Madame Noire online magazine with Callaloo author and co-creator Marjuan Canady.

Canady’s Callaloo series addresses the disparity and allows this generation to take pride in where they come from and to love their Black and brown skin.”
