Mr Magpie Show

This week I welcome Island entrepreneur Luke Ignace. Luke is from the Bahamas with Haitian ancestry and is a quintessential larger than life character. He talks fondly of his Carribean heritage but also the stigmas he has observed and experienced both home and abroad. We get a hint of the unique perspectives and visions for change that stood him apart from his friends and family, which ultimately inspired him to seek opportunities for personal growth and creative freedom as well as implement community minded professional projects here on the Island. We also explore more broadly the pitfalls that modern societies and cultures face when an open social dialogue for collaborating in new ways is buried beneath conventional ideologies. Speculating that this can prevent people from imagining a brighter inclusive future that in fact we all could have some agency in developing both on a collective level and personal one too.

Mr. Magpie aims to act as a conduit, to collate and spread new and shiny ideas from the people of Prince Edward Island through the age-old practice of storytelling and listening to stories in an intimate setting. Together, let’s use metaphorical metal detectors to find those shiny little nuggets of creativity and non-conformist thinking before they are trodden deeper into the soil of the traditional fables that shape our landscape.It’s all about human connection - understanding ourselves on a deeper level and learning from one another as we embark on this journey.
