FLOURISH

Centring Fulfillment. Growing Together. Reimagining Work.

Centring Fulfillment. Growing Together. Reimagining Work.

There is so much power in who we are. As Indigenous, Black, and racialized women, we are rich in talent, vision, and purpose. We have the courage to imagine boldly, lead with heart, and shape new paths forward. The Accelerate Her Future 2025 Virtual Summit: Flourish was a celebration of that power and an invitation to embrace it. To choose yourself without apology. To share space with courageous generosity. To co-create work and life that are rooted in your values, joy, purpose and community. To flourish—fully and together.

FLOURISH

Nurturing Inner Joy, Thriving in Community, Flourishing in the Workplace

2024 Flourish Speakers

Flourish is about redefining success on our own terms.

Flourish is about redefining success on our own terms. As Indigenous, Black, and racialized women, our 2024 Virtual Summit challenged the notion that success must be synonymous with struggle, overwork, and burnout. We redefined success on our own terms. We explore what it means to flourish in every part of our lives – within ourselves, our communities, and our workplaces.

UNFILTERED
We are unstoppable, unapologetic,
and unfiltered.
Unfiltered is about standing uncompromisingly in the power of our voice.
Centering our truths. Speaking up about what Indigenous, Black, and racialized women really need to feel seen, heard, and valued in workplaces so we can thrive. It’s about boldly calling in leaders to collaborate with us to create meaningful change. Our voices hold a power that is stronger than any attempt to silence, censor or erase us. We are no longer minimizing our truths — we are unstoppable, unapologetic, and unfiltered.

Unstoppable
We are unshakable, undefeated,
and unstoppable.
Unstoppable is about redefining our narrative
Challenging the status quo that often confines Indigenous women, Black women, and women of colour to labels like underrepresented or underestimated. These labels have defined us, been justifications to hire us, and used as tools to evaluate us. But they are not full reflections of our capabilities and our potential. We are more; much more. We are unshakeable. We are undefeated. We are unstoppable.
