from Edify Unfiltered · host Edify Magazine

A Syrian refugee who turned his experience into service to other 2SLGBTQ+ newcomers. A world class brewer on Edmonton’s Happy Beer Street. Hear from two members of Edify’s Top 40 Under 40 Class of 2024. First, hosts Trudy Callaghan and Steven Sandor chat with Basel Abou Hamrah, founder of the Newcomer Centre’s Rainbow Refuge program. Basel Abou Hamrah tells of how he went from closeted refugee to helping put Edmonton on the map for 2SLGBTQ+ refugees looking for a welcoming city. Then, listen to Doug Checknita, head brewer and blender at The Monolith. Doug takes the title of beer nerd to another level with his scientific approach to the brand’s Beer World Cup-winning barrel-fermented beer. Buy tickets to Top 40 Under 40 now.
