Lindo is Kitchener's first Black MPP. She served as a Member of the Standing Committee on Regulations and Private Bills, and as Critic for Citizenship and Immigration Services and Critic for
anti-racism. In 2018, Lindo was named a member of the Ontario NDP's first ever Black Caucus, alongside NDP caucus colleagues
Rima Berns-McGown,
Faisal Hassan,
Jill Andrew and
Kevin Yarde. Prior to her election, she worked as Director of Diversity and Equity at
Wilfrid Laurier University. After the resignation of Ontario NDP leader
Andrea Horwath in June 2022 after the party's defeat in the
Ontario general election, Lindo was seen as a potential candidate in the subsequent
leadership election, but she decided not to run in November. In January 2023, Lindo announced that she would be stepping down that July to join the
University of Waterloo's philosophy department. Lindo endorsed Debbie Chapman as the next NDP candidate in the
by-election. However, the seat flipped to the
Green Party candidate
Aislinn Clancy. ==Select publications==
