“Inspiring Inclusion resonates deeply with me, as fostering an understanding and appreciation for women’s inclusion is at the core of building a more equitable and empowered world. In my journey as a dedicated advocate for the advancement of the Black community in Canada, I have witnessed the power of inclusion. When we create environments that value and uplift the unique contributions of every woman, we pave the way for a society where everyone can thrive.
As co-founder and CEO of the Federation of African Canadian Economics (FACE), my mission has been to accelerate the creation of generational wealth for individuals of African descent in Canada. The Black Entrepreneurship Loan Fund, in collaboration with the government of Canada and BDC, is just one example of how targeted initiatives can empower underrepresented communities.
This International Women’s Day, let’s promote our commitment to inclusivity and empowerment to continue breaking down barriers and creating opportunities that enable all women to reach their full potential. By inspiring inclusion, we celebrate diversity and build a stronger, more resilient Canada.”
