Mackenzie Lad is a photographer, writer, and journalism student at Concordia University in Montreal. Before that, she grew up in the peripheral of Toronto feeling like she was missing out on something. These days she is most often found behind a camera or with a notebook in hand, asking too many questions to quell her insatiable curiosity. Her interests include art and activism, gender and sexuality, media criticism, diaspora communities, and immigration.

She is the Editor of Photography at The Concordian. Her photography and writing has appeared in various publications online and in print.
