Areguy’s journalism grounds local, working-class realities in broader social movements and global issues. His reporting and investigations have been featured in the The Breach Media, Waterloo Region Record, ByBlacks, Canadian Dimension, Toronto Star, and CBC. With Jeff Outhit, he was a runner-up for an Ontario Newspaper Award in 2020 for their analysis revealing COVID’s disproportionate effects within marginalized communities.
Blending personal narrative, lyrical prose, and critical analysis, Areguy’s creative nonfiction explores ideas about identity and place, intimacy and alienation, and resistance to state violence. His essays, poetry, and criticism have been published in Briarpatch Magazine, New Sociology, Red Noise Collective, The Community Edition, and Korea Exposé, among others.
Areguy has been honoured with the Ontario Medal for Young Volunteers, recognizing his exceptional volunteer contributions to his community and the province, and his commitment to social justice activism and organizing. He has also received a provincial Black Excellence in Leadership Award (BELA) for his efforts to combat racial inequities in Waterloo Region.
With funding support from the Ontario Arts Council, Areguy is currently working on a collection of essays, detailing his journey to Ethiopia and Eritrea to meet family for the first time while providing on-the-ground reportage into Canadian mining projects across the Horn of Africa.
