Six Years And Going Strong!

Time flies when you’re having fun as the saying goes. It also zips by when you’re working hard. Six years ago I decided it was time for change in my life and start my own business. Do I have regrets?

2023 Rogers IABC Communicator of the Year Award Ceremony

It was a dream come through, a do-over. When I received the award for Businesswoman of the Year in 2022, I wasn’t prepared. I didn’t expect to win and I didn’t have a speech ready. I also hardly knew anyone in the room. So when I received the Rogers IABC Communicator of the Year award, I knew exactly what to do.

Lessons Learned As We Kick Off Black Business Month

It’s Black Business Month! I thought the above photo of me with one of Canada’s pioneering Black female entrepreneurs - Viola Desmond - was quite fitting. She is iconic and her determination to right a wrong is inspiring. I reflect on my own six year entrepreneurial journey and whether being a Black woman helped or hindered me.

Here's Where Representation Really Matters...And it's a Matter of Life or Death

I started off Black History Month launching two big campaigns - The Black Diamond Ball media launch that kicked off the eXperience RBC Black Diamond Ball workshops and Black Business Marketplace, and the Donor Drive 4 Dorothy 5K Campaign to get Black Canadians swabbed. Both equally important to my community, but this month’s blog is about the latter…
