Kayla Blackwood

When did you start with TLP?

I started in April 2024.

What are you passionate about when it comes to creating change in your community? – 

I am passionate about making learning and mental health education more accessible in my community. Minorities are often ostracized and access to education is limited. It is my goal to make resources more accessible to everyone in my community.  

What is your greatest achievement? – 

I think my greatest achievement was when I hosted a successful self-care event in Toronto. I am passionate about self-care, mental wellness and mindset so being able to bring that to a group of young women in my community was a great achievement for me.

Advice to a current or prospective learner – 

My advice would be to ask as many questions as possible and do your research. It is important to utilize as many resources as possible, so make sure you’re asking questions to find out what is available to you and continuously research because things are always changing.

Your favorite quote - 

“The last mile is always the least crowded.”
