About Lorraine Lam
I am a community worker, musician, writer, speaker, advocacy organizer, social work graduate, restaurant server, and community consultant. You may have seen or heard me on: The Social, Spacing podcast, Toronto Star, CP24, City News Toronto, Global News Toronto, CBC, to name a few. In all aspects of my work, I ask the question, “What do hope, justice, liberation, and faith practically look like in our day-to-day? How can we build community together and build towards better?” I have worn many hats in my personal and professional life and have a range of skillsets that is transferrable in between different work environments. Operating from a harm-reduction, anti-oppressive and trauma-informed practice, I spent over a decade working with individuals who were homeless and marginally-housed. I strive to bring belonging to communities that are sidelined, and seek opportunities to amplify voices often ignored. My passion is seeing communities come together to build and work towards change.
