Outside of performing, Roshanie has a deep love for conversation, storytelling and connecting dots. So far, this has taken the form of journalism, teaching and curating. Much of this work revolves around the arts, documenting what she’s seeing right now and drawing from her own practice. Roshanie also sits on the program Advisory Council for X University’s Bachelor of Fine Arts in Professional Music.
