When I was a student journalist at U of T, several of my fellow students died by suicide. For over two years, Tahmeed Shafiq and I spoke to students, staff and experts about the long arc of grief that these deaths leave behind—and why better postvention could save lives.

I was denied entry, detained, and deported from the USA for reporting on the Columbia student protests. My story here The New Yorker newyorker.com/news/the-lede/…
