Lilly Callender

Lilly graduated from UBC with an International Relations and Economics degree. She grew up in rural Ontario on the territory of Haudenosaunee and Anishinaabe peoples. She is the daughter of a farmer and granddaughter of immigrants who came to Canada four decades ago from the beautiful island of Barbados. As a young bi-racial woman growing up in a small town, Lilly has developed a natural passion for Equity, Justice, and systemic change. In order to see the change that she envisioned, Lilly has taken matters into her own hands, starting her own Non-Profit and working with a number of institutions such as her former school board, and current university to create solutions addressing anti-Black and anti-Indigenous Racism, Ableism, as well as other forms of exclusion. She is now learning and living in Vancouver on the unceded territory of the Coast Salish Peoples, including the territories of the xwməθkwəy̓ əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), Stó:lō and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil- Waututh) Nations.
