## Summary & Core Narrative
Lellow Sedio's first attempt at university in Canada ended after a mental health crisis. Later, a Facebook advertisement brought her to U of T's Transitional Year Programme. Its small classes and support gave her time to understand what she wanted from studying and how to approach it.

Sedio graduated in book and media studies and gained admission to the Faculty of Information. Her research examined educational barriers in Botswana, including how available learning materials and language can affect students' results. She also founded Epic Minds, a nonprofit providing free educational resources, and mentored prospective students. Graduate work in critical information policy comes next.
