Bio

African Nova Scotian and Indigenous storyteller, Jayde Tynes, is currently in her second season as producer’s assistant with CBC’s Diggstown. She is mentoring under showrunner/creator Floyd Kane and Diggstown/Seed/Trailer Park Boys Executive Producer Karen Wentzell. Her career in media began as the Diversity and Outreach Programming Coordinator with CKDU 88.1FM in Halifax. Upon completing her second bachelor’s degree in Journalism she joined CBC Nova Scotia as a reporter and associate producer. In 2017 she launched an independent podcast titled My Blackness, My Truth (On iTunes & Google Play) where she is both producer and host. Since diving deeper into independent media in 2020, she has producing a sound walk; “Walking Gottingen” that highlights stories from long-term residence while exposing the harsh realities of gentrification. Her work has been featured on Common Dreams, Star Metro Halifax, Diagnol, The Coast, Popular Resistance, Information Morning NS and CBC Online. Before making her splash in media, she has been organizing and participating in social justice activism in Nova Scotia for over nine years. Her passion for storytelling intersects with her passion for travel. In 2015 she founded the non-profit, The Bridging Bus. The program brought a group of African Nova Scotian change-makers to Washington, DC to learn from Black Lives Matter organizers. In 2018, she also lead a group of her peers to Accra, Ghana in order to participate in the 15th Annual African Youth and Governance conference. Her ultimate goal is to become a successful independent producer, with project that span across film, television, radio and digital platforms.
