Follow the story of Dae, a girl who sets out to create positive spaces for black creatives, despite all the troubles caused by the virus

The Real Dae

Dae Shields is the co-founder of AfroVan Connect, a company that is working to establish safe spaces for Black creatives to express themselves. Dae has been creating music ever since she was a little girl. As she got older, she noticed that there were no spaces made for Black people, and if there were, they were not welcoming. When Dae moved to Vancouver in 2017, she saw how badly the city lacked inclusive places. Thus, with the helping hands of her new community in Vancouver, AfroVan Connect was born.
