We’re so excited to see you at Cheekbone Beauty’s For Future Generations Pop Up, taking place on September 30th from 4–7PM at CELI (753 Queen Street West, Toronto).
This one-day event is all about connection, community, and supporting the future of Indigenous youth.
Every Cheekbone purchase at this pop up helps fund our For Future Generations Indigenous Youth Scholarship Fund, created in honor of our founder Jenn Harper’s grandmother, Emily Paul.
Here’s what you can look forward to:
Live Performances by Ashley Ghostkeeper
Alberta’s Ashley Ghostkeeper is a Métis-Cree artist, deeply connected to music and storytelling. Growing up in a talented family, early inspiration with her Aunty and Grandpa strumming guitars in their Red Deer home, ignited Ashley’s crafting of melodies, while dreaming of big stage performances.
Believing in music as a means of healing and self-liberation, Ashley’s songs are featured on major playlists, garnered three #1 hits on “Canadian Top Indigenous Music Countdown,” and a #5 spot on the “Canadian Top 40 Indigenous Music Countdown.”
Recognized with consecutive nominations for Calgary YYC Indigenous Artist of the Year (2024, 2025), Solo Artist Of The Year, Songwriter Of The Year, Single Of The Year, Country Recording Of The Year (all, 2025), Country Music Alberta Fan’s Choice (2023, 2024, 2025) and Horizon Female Artist of the Year (2024) reflects Ashley’s determination.
