"It is humbling to be recognized alongside incredible women who are making substantial contributions to the Canadian and global economies. By spotlighting us, you send a powerful message to future generations that reinforces the idea that every girl, regardless of her background, has the potential to become a leader, a trailblazer, and a woman of influence.  I’m incredibly grateful to RBC and Women of Influence+ for awarding me the Canadian Women Entrepreneur Award for my impact in Social Change."

"I am incredibly grateful to RBC and Women of Influence+ for recognizing my achievements as an Indigenous woman in business. Receiving the Micro-Business Award is not just a personal win, but a win for our entire Indigenous communities. I am honored to be supported by organizations that are committed to fostering the success of women in business. This award is a testament and celebration to the hard work and dedication that goes into building a company from the ground up."

“Participating as a candidate in the 2023 RBC Canadian Women Entrepreneur Awards has been an incredibly reflective and affirming experience for both myself and my company. It offered a profound opportunity to introspect about our vision, purpose, and achievements. Engaging with the judging panel and connecting with fellow finalists was both enlightening and inspiring. The diligence and dedication of the judging committee significantly enhanced this amazing journey, making the entire experience truly remarkable.”

“I am deeply honoured to have been a finalist and then a winner of the RBC Canadian Women Entrepreneur Awards in the category of Social Change – Regional Impact. For the work of not for profits to be recognized on a national scale is truly invaluable, it shines a critical light on the important work being done to support the most vulnerable members of our Canadian community.”

It's an entrepreneur's dream to be recognized by RBC. So it was such an honor to be amongst so many female changemakers at the gala ceremony — which was so moving and incredibly well-produced. The night after winning the Trailblazer award, it was amazing how quickly I began getting media attention. The RBC Canadian Women Entrepreneur Awards shines a bright spotlight on inspirational stories of entrepreneurship, women who demonstrate ingenuity and resilience. I am inspired by them. And I will always be grateful for this honour

Winning the RBC Canadian Women Entrepreneur Awards truly was a dream come true. The award has truly boosted brand awareness of our natural skincare products across the country. The entire Women of Influence team was a pleasure to work with, and I highly recommend everyone considering to apply!
