D'bi Young Anitafrika is a Jamaican-Canadian dub poet, monodramatist, and educator, as well as a 3 time Dora Award-winning actor and playwright. Raised Debbie Young in Jamaica, she moved to Canada in 1993.

As an actor, she has appeared in Trey Anthony's da kink in my hair, which garnered her a Dora nomination for best actress, and the television sitcom Lord Have Mercy!.[1]

She won outstanding new play and outstanding performance by a female in a principal role in a play in the 2006 Dora Mavor Moore Awards for her play one womban story.[2]

In 2007 she facilitated a summer dub theatre program for youth in Toronto, which led her to founding and artistic directing The Watah Theatre (formerly anitafrika dub theatre).[3][4] Young is the originator of the dubpoetry inspired intersectional anti-oppressive framework the Anitafrika Method using the Sorplusi Principles based on the seminal work of her mother Anita Stewart, a pioneer dub poet and member of Poets in Unity.

She was the curator of the Badilisha Poetry X-Change project created by the Africa Centre in 2011 and is currently the editor of Sorplusi Publishing based in Toronto. Young identifies as queer.[5]
