At 19, most people are still figuring themselves out. Ethan MacMillan decided to do it publicly. In March 2025, the University of Toronto student launched his social media presence across Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok — not chasing fame, but chasing self-knowledge. Since then, he has won the $200,000 grand prize on Fear Factor: House of Fear, completed a full marathon, and built a growing community of young people drawn to his honest, unfiltered take on growth, confidence, and the daily work of becoming who you are meant to be.

Saskia Raparanta is an incredibly versatile and dedicated dancer originally from Brampton, Ontario. From when I knew her in our competitive studio years to dancing alongside her throughout high school, it was clear that she was made to perform. She’s one of the few dancers who has trained in all commercial styles such as jazz, contemporary, hip hop, and heels. She has set such a high standard for dancers in Toronto. When she participated in the Disney Zombies franchise, it was clear that anything was possible. When we worked on M. Night Shyamalan’s TRAP, she again set the example of professionalism and high work ethic. Now seeing where her efforts have taken her, I’m not surprised by the success she’s having in Los Angeles, being a part of the faculty of Millennium Dance Complex. Her artistry is looked up to by everyone in Toronto’s community, and more than that, I’m thankful to also call her my friend. Especially when we’re on the job together, Saskia keeps the energy light but focused. She is hilarious and is always down for a laugh in between takes or classes. Dancing beside her pushes everyone around her to be better. Since she started in Toronto’s scene, she has elevated the level associated with our home city, and I can’t wait to watch her do the same in Los Angeles.

Walking into Alyssa King’s studio, the first thing you notice is the atmosphere. Large paintings in layered blues fill the walls, quietly shifting with the light throughout the day. They have a presence that’s hard to describe until you’re standing in front of them.
