Okay so there’s actually 11 here … 

2025 was AMAZING and I had so much opportunity to connect with local and afar Canadian businesses and work with some seriously awesome HUMANS. 

THIS IS WHAT I AM HERE FOR - helping kick ass people spread their word and share their special sauce with the right F*ckin people. This post honestly made me so hyped because I realized how much I accomplished in my own business last year/how much growth I have undergone as a professional and it was a true treat to share that with my clients. 

CHEERS to another list for 2026!

Just me, outside, being myself. Inviting in the people who live in colour, build with intention, and care about leaving the world a bit better. If that’s you — hi, I think we’ll get along. ✨👯‍♀️
