Alanna Everitt
Alanna Everitt is a creative 10-year-old artist from Vancouver, Canada, where she lives with her parents and younger sister. After learning about the internment of Japanese Canadians during World War II in her social studies class, Alanna has developed a deep interest in understanding historical injustices and honouring those affected. With natural curiosity and intelligence beyond her years, Alanna approaches this commemorative project as an opportunity to connect with history in a meaningful way. She brings a fresh perspective and sincere desire to honour the memory of internees through her artistic expression. Alanna enjoys various creative pursuits, including visual arts, aerial silks, and gymnastics. An avid reader, she finds inspiration in stories that help her understand diverse perspectives and experiences, a quality she hopes to bring to this memorial project.
