My name is Fatah and I am a young person who identifies as Muslim, Black, and ethnically Somali. I was raised in Scarborough and still reside in the east-end of the GTA. I have experience living amongst immigrant and racialized communities and have grown up seeing economic disparities and disparities in access to health.
I advocate for mental health care, health equity, issues impacting youth, and upward social mobility for the communities I come from and live alongside.
