Born and raised in the Jane-Finch community, Tiffany Ford has an authentic perspective of what it means to be labelled an “at-risk” youth, while striving beyond the stereotypes and stigma that marginalized people are faced with in Toronto’s York West community.
Attending all levels of education within the York West community, she gained her education at Firgrove Public School, Oakdale Park Middle School, Westview Centennial Secondary School, and later York University, where she received an honorary Bachelor of Arts degree in Communications and Sociology.
Upon graduating from York University, Tiffany decided to take a brave risk and launched the Ford Global Group, which is the parent company of marketing communications firm Ford Publicity and a newly launched telecom company Pepeyee Communications. Tiffany Ford was listed on the 2012 Top 100 Global Publicists and PR Firms for Social Media, and won the Service Award at the 2013 African Entertainment Awards. Tiffany is the founder of Beyond 'at-Risk' , which aims to dismantle negative connotations associated with the term ‘at-risk’, by challenging and deconstructing harmful stereotypes to enhance meaningful programming for youth living in ‘high-priority’ neighbourhoods.
