Landing in Toronto, after escaping Lebanon with my nine-month-old daughter during the civil war, was the moment of hope for me. I am so grateful for the opportunities Canada has provided me, but the work continues. My father taught me something that I would never forget: ‘Life owes you nothing. Life is an opportunity for us to make the best of it.’ I’m proud of the dogged work over 16 years from Rosenzweig & Company, showing Corporate Canada that we can do better and we must do better when it comes to diversity, inclusion and equal opportunity.
