Raghad El Niwairi is a Black Muslimah living in London, Ontario. She grew up watching news broadcasting as a child and was, like many others, moved by the social issues she witnessed on TV. Since then, she has committed most of her childhood and adolescence to hands-on community and advocacy work. This has led to her to receiving various volunteer-based awards and to working in projects such as the InterAction Collective and London School of Racialized Leaders. She is currently a university student, still looking to serve through community work and learning wherever she can.
