York staff member’s startup Heal In Colour promotes inclusivity in healing
Tianna McFarlane is proving that it’s not only York University faculty, students and alumni that are driving positive change in the world – but staff members, too. In summer 2019, McFarlane – who is an administrative assistant at the Faculty of Science Office of the Dean – was looking for an adhesive bandage that matched her skin tone. Unable to find any, she decided to make her own and founded Heal In Colour, the first Canadian company to create adhesive bandages for black and brown skin.
