Tumaini Lyaruu
BIO
B.A, BHSc(c)
Tumaini Lyaruu lives, learns, loves and creates as an uninvited guest in Tkar坦n:to from the east African diaspora. Prior to entering the midwifery education program at Ryerson University in 2017, Tumaini���s research and community health work experience were rooted in supporting community based research and arts based programming focused on HIV/AIDS, harm reduction and sexual/reproductive health with 2SLGBTQ+, African, Caribbean and Black (ACB) youth and adults. It is through this work that Tumainis interest in community based clinical practice grew and Tumaini learned about the midwifery profession. As a midwifery student, Tumaini endeavours to learn clinical skills and how to integrate those skills in ways that support the well-being and communal/familial/self-determination for ACB pregnant people and families.
