Volunteering for Let’s Talk Science gave Abdi the oppurtunity to get out of the classroom and enabled her to bring her passion for science to youth across Ottawa. “Hands down, my favourite part of volunteering is working with the kids,” says Abdi. “They are so much smarter than you could ever imagine, and I've never had a negative experience. I always have kids coming up to me during visits, telling me how much fun they are having and asking when we are coming back. It’s amazing.”

“I hope that we see Black and Indigenous kids thriving in post-secondary and getting access to career opportunities that they haven’t had in the past,” says Abdi. “It comes down to supporting youth at the earlier stages and setting them up for that success.”

I am Elliott, Ojibway on my father’s side and Mohawk on my mother’s. Looking back on my life's journey, I can't help but marvel at the twists and turns that have brought me to where I am today. As we approach the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation in Canada, I find myself reflecting on the significant events that have shaped my life and led me down a path of empowerment and positive change.
