Salima Stanley-Bhanji (She/Her) is a lawyer, advocate, and co-founder and CEO of Humainologie, a nonprofit and social enterprise that aims to spread empathy, increase inclusion and reduce discrimination. Salima has produced and directed over 20 short documentary films featuring people from underrepresented communities, receiving over a dozen film festival awards internationally.

Salima identifies as a cis-gender, heterosexual woman of colour and grew up in Australia in a multi-racial family in the 70s and 80s. Her experience of not seeing herself represented (including not having a single educator who was a woman of colour in 18 years of education) contribute to her passion for proportionate and accurate representation of our diverse human family. She recently spoke at TedxYYC about what we need to give up in order to end racism. Salima is also the Secretary and a Board Director of the Alberta Hate Crimes Committee, and mother to a tiny, new human.
