Inspirit - In Conversation with Kristyn Wong-Tam

By -
Regent Park Focus welcomed Toronto city councilor Kristyn Wong-Tam to our studio. We interviewed Kristyn about her experiences in politics, her career inspirations and how she copes with difficulties in life. Our host Maeashah had an interactive conversation with Kristyn and asked for her advice to young women who come from diverse cultural backgrounds and are interested in becoming politically involved. We really appreciate Kristyn for sharing her stories, and hope that our audience would gain something helpful from watching the upcoming show!
