Kate Foster

Kate Foster is a Black Nova Scotian writer.

I was born in Halifax to a white mother and unknown East African father, was adopted into a white family and grew up in the Annapolis Valley. With a background in law and literature, I have worked as a lawyer, researcher and advocated for reform of adoption disclosure laws. I have spent many years searching for my own family roots. My creative writing interests include Black history and family stories. My fiction and non-fiction have been published in literary journals and on the Halifax Public Libraries Blog. I work part-time in a family business and live in Dartmouth with my husband and two daughters.
