Kanika Ambrose: Bringing the Caribbean experience to light through the arts
A profile of playwright Kanika Ambrose and how she's using theatre to amplify Caribbean stories on the Canadian stage.
I'm Sydnee — a Toronto-based freelance writer and journalist with bylines across Toronto Caribbean, Toronto Guardian, and The Milton Reporter. I cover arts, business, entertainment, and the everyday people doing extraordinary things.
I'm a graduate of the Advanced Diploma program in Journalism at Humber College, and I currently work as a freelance writer covering arts, culture, business profiles, and community stories.
My work has appeared in Toronto Caribbean, Toronto Guardian, The Milton Reporter, and Montreal Guardian — where I focus on interviews, profile pieces, and stories that bring underrepresented voices forward.
Outside of writing, I bring years of hospitality experience to the table: strong phone etiquette, sharp interpersonal skills, and the kind of communication that helps me get the right quote out of any source.
