Dr. Mayann Francis

On this season finale of Season 2 of Black & White, we're honored to share Stephen's conversation with Dr. Mayann Francis, the first Black, female Lieutenant Governor of Nova Scotia. Dr. Francis has spent a lifetime challenging the racial and gender barriers challenging Canadians today, as a human rights advocate, and published her memoir Mayann Francis: An Honourable Life in 2019. She and Stephen speak about her upbringing in Whitney Pier, her relationship with the late Queen Elizabeth and her time as Lieutenant Governor, Viola Desmond, and much more.
