If professional titles had weight, Denise Herrera-Jackson would not be able to lift a finger: television, print media, theatre, dance, producing, marketing, writing - you name them, Denise has juggled all of them between her two hands and she is still counting. Denise arrived in Canada in 1980 from Trinidad and, like many black immigrants, faced an uphill struggle re-constructing her life as a professional immigrant, battling twice as hard to achieve her goals. With the useful grounding from her paternal grandmother, she overcame many obstacles to realize her dreams and, at the same time, be a towering, shining inspiration to her black communities in Canada.
