    #10 - Hadeel Abdel-Nabi

    Hadeel is a journalism student with some pretty solid freelance work under her belt already. She has a lot of thoughts about what the journalism landscape looks like to a young woman of colour, what it's like wearing a hijab in Calgary, and why you should quit giving East Calgary the side eye.

    Read Hadeel's story "East Calgary is not a culture tour" for The Sprawl, and follow her on Twitter.
