Our fam Del Cowie chops it up with the Godfather for the cover story of the December issue of Sway Magazine. Here’s a taste (read the full article here) or grab it from your local news stands!

If there’s one thing that quickly becomes apparent in having a conversation with Wes ‘Maestro’ Williams, it’s that he’s always passionately aware of linking the past to the present, and the future.

Case in point: While travelling to a recent keynote speaker engagement in Hamilton, Ont. to promote his new book Stick to Your Vision: How to Get Past the Hurdles and the Haters to Get Where You Want to Be, Williams took time to reflect on a pioneering African-Canadian figure. “On my way to the lecture, I had to get on the Lincoln Alexander Parkway,” he says. “So, while I’m driving, I’m thinking, ‘That’s a brother right there who’s from Canada.’ You have to admire the contribution that he’s made in order for his community to name a parkway after him. You feel me?

“That’s the first Black Member of Parliament in Canada and it just reinforces how far we’ve gone as a people, as Canadians, and how far I still have to go. It’s not like I want a bridge or nothing, but the fact is we can still continue to make contributions.”
