We are already everything we need to Flourish

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 is 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.

Honouring
the Authentic You

This summit is your space to reflect on what matters to you most: the values, joys, cultural roots, and purpose that make you who you are. Together, we’ll explore how to turn your fulfillment into a compass for success. Learn tools, practices, and strategies that will help you align your vision with your values, navigate bold career moves, and move through the world more rooted in who you are and what you desire.

Collaborating
with Courage and Care

Expansion isn’t a solo act; it’s a collective endeavour. Immerse yourself in a network of Indigenous, Black, and racialized women and allies as we discuss the importance of sharing resources, extending support, embracing collaboration, and lifting as we climb so that we can flourish both as individuals and as a community. When we collaborate with courage and care, we multiply our strength.

Reimagining
Workplace Cultures

You deserve to work in a place where being “professional” doesn’t require you to shrink or self-edit. Join us for insightful fireside chats and enlightening panels where we’ll reimagine cultures where Indigenous, Black, and racialized women are recognized as the visionaries, leaders, and decision-makers we already are, and our ideas and presence are valued. Because transforming workplace cultures isn’t just possible—it’s necessary for all of us to truly flourish.

Why you don't want to miss this year's Summit

Here's some love from our past Virtual Summit attendees

“The AHF Virtual Summit provides Indigenous, Black, and racialized women a safe and brave space to have candid conversations about how to navigate the workplace and develop their careers.
