Naomi Gracechild (she/they) is an award-winning interdisciplinary artist/entrepreneur, cultural innovator, zero-proof (alcohol-free) mixologist, consultant and educator whose work has traversed a variety of industries in both the public and private sectors. She has graced stages across Canada as a musical artist, speaker and facilitator, and her work has been featured in major media outlets such as the Vancouver Sun and The Georgia Straight.A self-described "multisensory medicine maker and artsy-fartsy rabble-rouser", Naomi's tech-integrated creative practice lives at the confluence of sensory expressions incorporating studio arts, culinary arts, music, graphic design. Building on intercultural pillars of food, fire, story and song, her work daylights narratives of feminine African-diasporic leadership rooted in ecological and cultural sustainability, honoring plants and fungi as allies in our collective evolution. Through her intersecting artistic modalities, she celebrates creativity as a sacred force to heal communities, document history, provoke imagination and innovate social change.Naomi's role as a trailblazer in the flourishing non-alcoholic beverage space builds upon her 2+ decades in the hospitality industry working as a server, bartender, freelance food and wine journalist. Her passion for wine as multisensory, drinkable art and its role in shaping culture lead her to certification through the International Sommelier Guild. In 2018, her path shifted when she chose to embrace an alcohol-free lifestyle and subsequently identified an industry gap when it came to adult socialization that did not center alcohol consumption, as well as sophisticated alcohol-free options. In February 2020 she hosted her first pop up event and art show, ROOT, which presented zero-proof mixology as a vehicle for storytelling and a framework for created much-needed gathering spaces. Since then she has become a sought-after bartender, thought leader and consultant in the flourishing non-alcoholic beverage space. Her venture Bar Zero (www.barzero.ca) will celebrate its official launch in 2023. Naomi is the founder of Melanin Rising Apparel (www.melaninrising.com), a tech-integrated lifestyle brand that celebrates the contributions of creatives of the African diaspora to building a just and equitable world. Using fashion as a vehicle for Black history education, Melanin Rising raises cultural awareness and rouses allyship of those who share the vision of a conscious and vibrant global community.
