In 2006 she completed an honor's degree in English Literature, which left her quite jobless and alone in East Van. Amalia cut her teeth at abortmag.com, Canada's darkest counter-culture magazine, moving on to contribute words and flicks to HipHopCanada: she's currently the Executive Editor and has had the privilege to interview hip-hop icons like Lil' Kim, Drake, Pusha T, Big Boi, Three Six Mafia, Yelawolf, Pharrell Williams and most of Wu-Tang. Amalia also works as a Key Worker educator and advocate for families affected by Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders, as well as heading up Team Heartbreak, a media production company that pairs community involvement and artistic movements.

Thanks, Amalia Judith for the great article. Just as a correction please, Chin is a panelist not a host of MISCELLANEOUS Productions’ Raincity Rap: The History of Hip Hop in Vancouver on Oct. 21 and 22. Ndidi Cascade and I will be hosting the two days of keynote speakers including Sol Guy and Dr. Charity Marsh, panels, performance of an open rehearsal of our new hip hop children’s musical Kutz & Dawgs, videos and a dance contest for youth age 14 – 24 with prizes, etc. Chin will be on the Groundbreakers Panel on Saturday, Oct. 22 at 8 PM. Chin and Ndidi will be hosting the after-party on Saturday night beginning at 11 PM at W2. There is also an after-party at Calabash Bistro on Friday, Oct. 21 at 11 pm. All events are all ages except for the event at Calabash and W2 – both for 19 years old and older only. Thanks for the space to make this
correction and hope to see *you*, your friends and fans there to make this a truly historical series of events!
