Usra will be on CBC Metro Morning (99.1FM) with Matt Galloway tomorrow, June 16th, at 6:50am to discuss the long, hard road that young mothers and others on the margins face when trying to survive and thrive. After a decade of struggling to balance career with the demands of young motherhood, Usra recently took home the top three awards at the 2016 convocation celebration: The Ryerson Gold Medal for the Faculty of Arts, The Board of Governor’s Leadership Award and Medal, and the Governor General’s Academic Medal, for her academic achievements, research contributions, and commitment to community development and activism – both on campus and at large.

Listen live here! In case you can’t catch it at that early hour, we’ll also post a link to the archive once it’s up.
