We were hoping to present the event in a hybrid format, however, considering the current circumstances due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the event will most likely take place in a virtual-only format.

A former parliamentary reporter for The Canadian Press, Nahlah is a graduate of Carleton University’s Master of Journalism program. She also holds a Master’s degree in interdisciplinary studies (Philosophy, English and Science) and a Bachelor of Science in genetics from the University of Manitoba.
