Henry’s is very proud to have been a sponsor for The Gyallery, a photo show hosted by Vice Canada and inspired by Gyalcast. Canon Canada was also present to print the images both before and during the event! “The beauty of Black womanhood has influenced nearly every aspect of culture, from music and pop culture to politics.
