Rachel Jordan is an accomplished filmmaker, theatremaker, director, writer, actor, producer, educator, consultant, an activist since 17 years old, and a creative entrepreneur since 23, always with a focus on empowering people of colour, particularly black people.

She spent two years as a producer and broadcaster of radio show Panther Jams on 88.9FM which focused specifically on black social empowerment through linking issues throughout the diaspora, social analysis and speaking to a variety of local and international guests, activists, authors and musicians.

Rachel is founder and creative director of Onyx Native Intelligence, Hi Rise Centre for the Arts, The Archetype Gallery, The Archway 1 Theatre Company and The Archway 1 Art Studio. All are not-for-profit, volunteer-run, unfunded arts initiatives with a socially conscious focus.

Rachel has directed, produced, acted and adapted ‘A Sunday Morning in the South’ and most recently ‘Bronze’ by African American Playwright Georgia Douglas Johnson – a play dealing with America’s systemic practice of lynching black people in that time.
