TRACE is a documentary and celebratory project aiming to recognize the work and efforts of seven Black Canadians in diverse sectors including business, entrepreneur, academic, arts and culture, history and philanthropy, as well as front-line workers and more, who have impacted the community with their great accomplishments.
The documentary was executive produced by African Women Acting (AWA) & Saimy’s Art, and produced and directed by Sonia Aimy, and co-produced by Kennedy Seed Obioha following seven TRACE Honourees.
The new single from Sonia Aimy, "TRACE (Tracing Rare African Canadian Extraordinaire)", was written and recorded as the theme song for the documentary. The inspiration for the song comes from the TRACE project itself. Stream/download "TRACE", available on all major streaming platforms, February 17th, 2023.
