Education


What does one do when they have a variety of interests and passions, but aren’t sure of a career path? According to Lio Mehiel ’15, it’s important to remember that you’re building yourself and not just a career. Lio is an actor, filmmaker, conceptual artist and activist. They are a co-founder of Voyeur Productions with fellow Northwestern alumni Dulcinee DeGuere ’15 and Russell Kahn ’16. In May, Lio led a program for the NAA called Moving Beyond Allyship in the Fight Against White Supremacy. Join us as Lio shares about their experiences in the arts industry, how those experiences helped them embraced their gender identity as a gender-queer, transmasculine person, and how activism is at the forefront of everything they do.
