Mandela Kuet advocates for equity and equality and has for nearly his entire life. He participated in the Winnipeg Foundation’s Fast Pitch earlier this year, spoke at the Black Lives Matter rally in Winnipeg earlier this month, and recently started his own non-profit for at-risk newcomer youth. So, he’s a busy guy.

I sat down with Mandela on a video chat, to talk about Black Lives Matter, his lifetime dedication to advocacy and equity, and what our communities need to learn and apply to make real change.
