I\u2019m on leave from the university to take on this exciting role. I\u2019m taking it on because of what Roundhouse represents and exemplifies. Roundhouse is about active community citizenry. Roundhouse\u2019s commitment to solutions-oriented programming echoes my own professional passions \u2013 thinking about ways to encourage a heightened sense of human flourishing for all Vancouver residents. Roundhouse hopes to be a conduit for so many underrepresented groups in this city. As a person of colour, of mixed race descent, I\u2019m obviously supportive of that project. I\u2019m personally committed to entertaining audiences, but also educating and inspiring our listeners to shed light on the complexities of city life today.<\/p>\n
