I’ll admit I was a bit irritated when I saw the snow upon arrival, but now that I’m wandering around in cozy Dartmouth (and realizing that I’m far away from the chaos of Toronto), the romance has finally settled in.

Today’s Rally for Education in a nutshell. Sad that this had to happen, but so proud of all the people across Ontario who came in busloads to show solidarity.

Had my regular eye exam. Feared progressive lenses for my 40-something eyes were inevitable, but doctor said it wasn’t critical, so I will put ‘em off one more year. Who’s in denial? THIS GAL!

Here’s Lucy, another inspiring leader, who I recently met as part of the Engineers Without Borders’ Kumvana Fellowships program:
.
“LUCY PINYOLOYA is an investment officer with Mango Fund, an Impact Investment Fund and partner of EWB in Uganda, responsible for the Northern Uganda.
.
Lucy is a survivor of the 20+ year conflict of Northern Uganda, and that experience gave her the zeal and ambition to create change for the rural women of Northern Uganda through agribusiness, which employees about 60% of rural women.
.
While in Canada Lucy wants to engage with organizations working in manufacturing industries, particularly agro-processors that deal in agricultural products. Additionally, she would like to connect with small business entrepreneurs and successful women leaders.”

Engineers Without Borders’ Kumvana Fellowships provide an opportunity for dynamic leaders across sub-Saharan Africa to spend one month in Canada learning, developing skills, and collaborating with like-minded leaders in various regions across the country.

“I wanted to invent cinema, and to be happy to be a woman. I wanted to be a radical.” Thank you, Agnès. (1928-2019)

Met some inspiring men and women participating in Engineers Without Borders’ Kumvana Fellowships program, who I think you all should know about. This week, I present the amazing MWANSA CHALO from Zambia:
===
“Mwansa Chalo is the Co-Founder of Spotless Africa, a Zambian cleaning company that specializes in Window and Kitchen Extraction Cleaning. The company currently employs a total of 12 youths from underprivileged communities. The aim of the business is to rethink, reimagine and reshape the services industry in Africa.
.
He is also co-founder of The Piggy Bank Campaign, a social initiative that helps improve access to education for underprivileged learners in community schools through voluntary teaching, mentorship, scholarships and infrastructure development.
.
Chalo studied Economics at The Copperbelt University. He is passionate about development issues in Africa and how to create sustainable change. He would like to learn more about business development and strategy and how tech companies in the service industry work.”

Grimes, with stage lighting by Sarah Landau (Photo: Connie Tsang)

The Magic of Stage Lighting

January 19, 2016 in toronto event photography

Live music photography owes a lot to stage lighting, and designer Sarah Landau's one of those people we should credit more often, if not always. Grimes was great to see live, but I've never been to a show where I consciously took myself out of the aural experience, turned to a friend, and said, as I did this night, "Whoever did this lighting is amazing."

From all of us shutterbugs: THANK YOU, SARAH!
