Tinesha Richards is Manifesto’s Managing Director. While studying at the University of Guelph-Humber, she was introduced to the non-profit creative world via her co-op placement at UrbanArts. Since then she has combined her two passions Event Production and Community Building and has worked with SHADE Comedy Festival, AfroChic Toronto, Flaws of Couture International Pop-ups, Piece of Mine Festival, and most recently led the Manifesto team to produce the organization's largest show to date at the iconic Budweiser Stage. With over five years of event production under her belt, she is a self-proclaimed “Olivia Pope”-type, that can fix, or handle, any issue thrown her way.
