Caesey Shakes

Caesey is a Jamaican-Canadian filmmaker raised in, a melting pot of cultures, Montreal, QC. Since young, she’s always had a certain sensitivity to the layered identities, politics and differences of being the Other in a French white-dominated society. Today she’s emboldened in her belief that storytelling is a form of healing. Whether it's through writing or filmmaking, it becomes her forum where she hopes Blackness, particularly Black womanhood, can experience a sense of liberation.
