Editor’s letter
A big lesson for me has been about accountability. We get taught to: put in the work, take credit, give praise, place blame, but for some reason — we are not taught how to be accountable. Instead we’ve been taught to fear it and struggle to put it into practice. Although in reality, apart from the scary association it carries, it is simply a complex, yet easy, process that is meant to hold us up to a higher standard in our personal and professional relationships. As creatives, students and young adults we are all always doing the absolute most possible to maximize opportunities for our futures. The responsibility and pressure is enigmatic, and we do not always choose the best routes or methods to achieve our goals. Because we are still learning, it is even more important that we also learn how to take responsibility for our actions. The only way to get skilled is to practice, and my many years with RAD and this year in particular have taught me that accountability for your missteps and shortcomings can make your successes and triumphs that much sweeter. In all my time on this amazing team, this has been the most important lessons I’ve learned with the people I trust to hold me accountable. Thank you for being a part of our journey and thank you for supporting our dreams. We are change makers. We are RAD.

PERSONAGE WINNIE LEE
WXNNIEL@GMAIL.COM @WXNNIEL
16
Winnie is a second-year student at Ryerson University in the Graphic Communications Management program. While she is focused on a publishing concentration and is pursuing a minor in marketing, photography has been a consistent hobby in her life since she was 12. This, paired with a passion for travel, is how her love for street photography was born. She is interested in producing images of her natural surrounding environment, as they are unique and fleeting moments in time that cannot be replicated. Apart from candid human subjects, elements such as background shapes, lines, colours, and symmetry have an influence on her capturing process. When she is not traveling abroad or capturing subjects, she enjoys exploring Toronto to discover new places to eat, relax, and have a cup of coffee. Food photography has been a new field of interest that has consequently developed in the last couple of years.
