Who’s on your team?

Girls Don’t Like Metal Interviews Cheryl Carter 
by Natalie Zina Walschots

“Like many fantastic people who have become my friends and colleagues in recent years, I first met Cheryl Carter via the Internet. We’d briefly written for the same publication in ThisIsNotAScene, and I began to actively follow her and her work online. Her Tumblr, Bleak Metal, is consistently fantastic. Her reviews strike me as passionate and insightful, and I’m always inspired by both her candidness and her obvious love for the heavy metal scene. I’m incredibly pleased to have her as a part of Girls Don’t Like Metal, especially as this is the first column of 2013!…” Read more here.

URBAN/Intersection: Poet Mansa Trotman’s
‘The Space that Connects Us’
 
by Ryan B. Patrick

“For Mansa Trotman, creating poetry is something that she’s driven to do, a fiery compulsion that speaks to the true goal of art: to evoke emotion in the intended receipient. With the Toronto-based poet’s recently released “The Space That Connects Us” (TSAR Books), consider it mission accomplished. The collection of poems hit flush with emotional impact — tales of love, lust and the emotional throughlines in-between…” Read more here.

Dance Collection Danse’s Speakeasy Ball
by Catherine Romano

“On a cold Thursday night in late November, I made my way to 401 Richmond, the artist-filled industrial warehouse space just west of Spadina in downtown Toronto. Tucked behind the restored building and down a long dirt alleyway is a small, but impressive coach house called Cinecylce…was the location of Dance Collection Danse’s (DCD) Speakeasy Ball…” Read more here.

How To Motivate Your Staff – Paid or Otherwise
by Corrie Peters

“A few months ago I wrote an article discussing a few management techniques, all of which I find extremely helpful day-to-day. However, motivating and managing are two very different animals, especially if you’re unable to pay your staff — you may not feel you can ask much more of them than to simply contribute. Here are a few things I’ve found helpful, both in real life and on the web…” Read more here.
