TXDL is happy to welcome Lequanne Collins-Bacchus to our organization in the role of Youth Director. She will be responsible for creating our youth focused and led initiatives.
An “intellectual peripatetic”, she has studied at Carleton University philosophically, and Seneca College logistically. She has worked in various capacities from researching machine learning at OCAD University to assisting with the erection of a memorial bench for Third World Bookstore by Bathurst station. She has also done copy-editing for publications to participating in a Google hackathon for equality and facilitated learning in maker labs at Ryerson University and the Ontario Science Centre.
She loves re-imagining the human experience while walking around and thinking about life; take a peek at some of her projects on Github.
