Kamika Bianca Guerra-Walker is of Jamaican and Chilean heritage, and hails from Calgary, Alberta. She is a multi-disciplinary visionary wearing several hats as director, producer, writer, model, actress, and founder of The Walker Foundation.

Kamika’s insatiable passion lies in understanding people and helping them understand themselves. With a deep-rooted commitment to advancing mental health systems, Kamika embarked on a journey that led her from studying psychology at the University of Calgary to becoming an acclaimed emerging director by telling the story of her and her Father’s journey with mental illness.

Her films have garnered recognition for their ability to evoke empathy towards individuals grappling with mental illness, addiction, and houselessness. She was one of 20 directors in the Netflix/Fabienne Colas Foundation program Being Black in Canada 2021 cohort, and her contribution, Finding My Way Back to You, toured Black film festivals across the nation. This inspired her to keep writing and she is currently in post-production for two projects streaming on Optik TV through the Black Creators Edition program from TELUS, STORYHIVE, and the BSO. Episode 1 of "The Black Mustard Seeds” is currently available on TELUS Optik TV.

Throughout 2023, Kamika has been inspired to expand her professional development, network, and explore a new artistic journey with poetry. These new endeavors are supported by her participation in the Academy of Canadian Cinema & Television, Executive Residency Program while she is under the advocacy of Sarah Adams, Director of Current Production, Drama, CBC. Kamika is also under mentorship by Wakefield Brewster during her debut to spoken word poetry and admittance into the 23/24 TD Incubator Program presented by The Arts Commons.

Kamika’s ultimate aspiration is continuing to blend narrative and documentary to ignite societal change, and inspire individuals to always approach others with compassion as their leading principle, triumphing over their instinctive judgment.
