My name is Zakirah Allain, pronouns she/they, and I am 23 years old. Education and advancing opportunities for all is my passion. In my undergraduate studies I double majored in International Development studies and African Studies with a certificate in Black Canadian studies. This year I enter my first year of graduate studies in Social Anthropology. I look forward to a future of life-long learning with hopes to educate and work to expand peoples freedoms and opportunities around the globe.
