During his 2014 bid for Toronto City Council, Andray promised to create a low-cost program to teach tech skills to young people in his home neighbourhood of Rexdale. Though defeated in the polls, Andray was not defeated in spirit; he launched the TXDL program in 2015, which holds weekly classes teaching coding, digital design, and creative writing. He also co-hosted the political podcast Canadaland Commons along with fellow writer and activist Desmond Cole, and was named one of the Globe and Mail’s Sixteen Torontonians to Watch in 2016.

Aside from his community and political activism, Andray has delivered talks on the financial benefits of diversity in pop culture, the mental impact of systemic racism in business, government, and media, and the importance of frank conversations on race and activism.
