I’ve been on the frontline of peaceful protests for racial equality, as well as speaking out against all forms of injustice at the United Nations, and on stages around the world. Everyday people can make change happen. I started E.P.I.C. (Everyday People Initiating Change) with my close friend Alexi Panos after we learned about the immense water crisis in the world where 785 million people still don’t have access to a basic water supply. Women are change agents. Come on, Canada, you can do better than only 10 per cent of your top business leaders being women. Thank you to Jay Rosenzweig for all of your dedication in bringing attention to this.
