Our Keynote Speakers
Meet Siila Watt-Cloutier
2022 Top 25 Lifetime Achievement Award Recipient
“To me, leadership means never losing sight that the issues at hand are so much bigger than oneself. It’s about clarity, focus, and looking inward to lead with strength. One should never project their own limitations onto others.”
Born in a small village in Northern Quebec, she entered the residential school system when she was 10 — which ignited her desire to help others who were struggling. She began her career in the Nunavik education system, and eventually became ave a voice for Inuit rights on the global stage, shining a spotlight on the ramifications of climate change on communities, especially for Indigenous Peoples.
Meet Justice & Nia Faith Betty
2022 Top 25 Women of Influence Award Recipients
Justice and Nia Faith Betty are the founders of Révolutionnaire, an educational and action-oriented platform for people passionate about making a change. Nia initially launched Révolutionnaire as a dancewear company when she grew tired of not being able to find dance apparel that matched her complexion. She wanted to change the conversation and perception around what was considered a “nude” shade, and save herself and others the time and money spent on dyeing apparel in an effort to make it work. After selling Révolutionnaire’s inclusive apparel for two years, Nia teamed up with her sister Justice to expand the brand, turning it into a digital platform for social impact that engages young changemakers and gives them the tools, information, and networking opportunities needed to put their plans and goals into action
