Speaker Delivers “Beyond Barriers” Leadership Session in New Brunswick

Programming example

First speaking engagement in New Brunswick — SUCCESS! 🎉I learned so much… not just about the audience, but about my own country too 😂 I had no idea what I was walking into, and now I’m thinking I need to travel more across Canada.Here are two things I learned about New Brunswick:1. They speak French (why did geography class not prepare me for this?! 😅)2. No Uber… yes, I panicked a little when I landed LOLBut honestly, I fell in love with the pace of life. The nature, the calm, the way people are out walking and staying active—it’s a different kind of energy. Something we don’t always see in Toronto unless it’s inside a gym.This time, I spoke on: *Beyond Barriers: Empowering the Next Generation of Leaders.*I shared a lot of my personal journey and the importance of standing up for young people who are facing challenges. One story that really stayed with people was about my guidance counsellor who didn’t believe in me—who thought I wasn’t good enough to become a doctor.That moment sparked a deeper conversation with the audience. It reminded us how important representation is, and how much the next generation needs space to grow, to be seen, and to become who they’re meant to be.We have a responsibility to create that space. 💫A huge thank you to Southeast RSC CSR Sud-Est for giving me this incredible opportunity and for welcoming me so warmly. I’m truly grateful to have been part of such an impactful experience.Thank you Ben Champoux for taking those beautiful photos! 🥹hashtag#PublicSpeaker hashtag#YouthEmpowerment hashtag#Leadership hashtag#DisabilityAdvocate hashtag#AccessibilityMatters hashtag#Inclusion hashtag#RepresentationMatters hashtag#WomenInLeadership hashtag#DeafCommunity hashtag#SpeakerLife hashtag#Canada hashtag#NewBrunswick
