Hi, I’m Jadine. My pronouns are she/her. I’m a freelance writer, editor, and photographer based out of Toronto. I tell the stories that matter to the communities around me, and examine how those lived experiences intersect with broader trends, systems, and history. Currently, I’m also the digital editor at Maclean’s magazine.
