Dana Matthews - performed Saturday night at the Ceilidh
A Haitian-born hip hopper and London poet, Dana was one of the 4 poets on the team representing London at the National Slam at Octobers Canadian Spoken Word Fest in Ottawa.

Born in Haiti, he was adopted as a baby by a family from Timmins and grew up in Northern Ontario.  His family moved to London when he was a teen. 

"It's something that is on mind all the time," he says of Haiti, which was devastated by the earthquake in January 2010.  Although Dana has never returned to Haiti, he plans to someday soon.

Dana is now a member of the LifePaths Global Alliance family.  A cherished member - cherished in our hearts.
