Lily Yosieph (She/Her)
Community Outreach Facilitator & Administrative Assistant
Lily is fortunate to be involved in an organization that she needed when she was younger. Although she had positive experiences in community centres and daycamps growing up, she always looked for spaces where she could feel safer and more supported in a city which often reminded her and her Black peers that they don’t quite fit in.
Lily joined Black Youth Connect in 2022, and in her role as the Community Outreach Facilitator and Administrative Assistant she has witnessed the impact of building self-confidence and community in the Black youth we serve through our programming.
As a graduate of Western University with a BHSc and MSc in Health and Rehabilitation Sciences, Lily is a lifelong learner who is passionate about research, health equity, and the mental health of marginalized populations, which she applies in her sessions and community partnerships.
