We are Many Things: Gen Z

We Are Many Things is a podcast series that explores the richness, complexity, and diversity of communities. In Season 2, we focus on Gen Z. Through honest, thoughtful, and sometimes challenging conversations, our youth panel reflects on what defines their generation, what sets them apart, and how they see the world around them.

Season 2 of We Are Many Things is brought to you by the Youth Elevation Collective at North York Community House.

Created and hosted by Sharron, with co-host Rey, and guests Rabibah, Melissa, Axel, and Bazit.
Directed and edited by Sterling Boulton.
