He mentors for Family Fuse, sits on the organizing committee for Stone and Sky Music & Art Series, and serves on the Community Steering Committee for Bridging North America, where he is advocating on behalf of Sandwich Town during the construction of the Gordie Howe Bridge. Teajai is an arts educator with Arts Can Teach, the founder of The Bloomfield House, Open Space Art Studio, Free Verse Poetry Share, and the current Executive Director of Artcite Inc. Most recently, Teajai founded Sacred Story Studio, where he hosts and produces a monthly storytelling series called A Blaze of Story.
