My story is not one merely one of sorrow and hardship but one of resilience and determination. And in my signature keynote, I take the audience on a transformational journey of healing  and empowerment. That began as an adopted child, facing bullying and discrimination to homelessness and sexual exploitation as a teenager. Connecting to audiences of all ages and demographics, in this keynote, I share the keys of resilience that I learned through multiple traumatic experiences. Which I attribute to my ability not merely to survive but thrive in the face of adversity — leaving the audience inspired to apply these same learnings in their own lives to navigate uncertainty and cultivate growth. 

This keynote explores the most powerful love that exists; to truly one's self. And how through this we can be to establish healthy and meaningful relationships. I guide the audience through my own experience of self-hate and self- doubt and how this led me to engage in multiple toxic relationships before learning to love myself; flaws included. This keynote engages the audience while providing meaningful takeaways and memorable experiences. Empowering the audience to strengthen mental resilience and take control of their happiness. 

In this keynote, I take the audience on an epic adventure from my days on the streets to a corporate businesswoman and entrepreneur. Providing the lessons, I learned about leadership and resilience that I have applied throughout my life. And the practical tools I developed to achieve both Undergraduate and Graduate success, train and run the 2016 Scotiabank Marathon. All before leaving the safety net of a secure job to follow my dreams of inspiring others by founding my social venture, the RISE Initiative. And becoming a nationally recognized advocate, most recently being invited to a private roundtable with Justin Trudeau. Audiences will be inspired to see any challenge or obstacle as an opportunity for growth and greatness.
