A New Lens: Magnifying the Margins

On this episode of New Lens, Magnifying the Margins, we hear from Alice Lam, is a Calgary entrepreneur and the daughter of Chinese-Vietnamese refugee parents. She has dedicated her time and energy to uplifting people of colour and strengthening the city she calls home. Alice creates spaces where Asian voices are centred, such as with community fridges, Chinatown tours, and other programs.  Hosts Clara and Kenzy explore how someone's identity influences their ability to make an impact on their community, as well as how someone committed to helping their community can create positive change for others.
