Show Notes
In this soulful and wide-ranging conversation, Divine Brown joins Afropolitan Dialogues to reflect on her journey from Toronto’s neo-soul rise in the early 2000s to headlining UnCovered: Madonna & Cher at Koerner Hall. She shares the creative process behind reimagining pop anthems, opens up about the lasting influence of D’Angelo’s Brown Sugar, and revisits the collaborative magic that shaped her debut album. Divine also talks about storytelling as the thread connecting her music, theatre, and film work, the powerful mentorship she found in Toronto’s creative community, and the lessons she’s passing on to the next generation of artists.
