It is a challenge she feels ready to meet head-on, thanks in large part to the ongoing support she has received from her tight-knit family, and community of friends and faculty at University of Toronto Mississauga.
Jones pursued a major in economics and specialization in finance because it would add value to her as a lawyer later on.

Shah speaks at schools, empowering youth and raising awareness on issues like anti-bullying, mental health and social change. He was the City of Mississauga's poet laureate from 2017 to 2019.
“Poetry was always my outlet,” he says. “If I was mad about something, if I was emotional about something, if something really provoked thought in one of the classes that I was taking, I could write a poem about it and just express it. That was the greatest feeling.”
