Tobi Owobowale

Project Coordinator 

A recent graduate from Simon Fraser University, Faculty of Health Sciences. I am an educated, melanated, motivated and sophisticated Nigerian woman, who’s passionate about supporting and uplifting black people in my community. Health and fitness are also important to me, so when I’m not telling little Black girls their hair looks beautiful, you’d probably catch me at the gym, or explaining the benefits of zucchini to my parents.
