#1 My Story
Ā
This is a picture of me the day I landed in Canada.
I rememberĀ it like it was yesterday.Ā I didnāt know where to get started but I was ready to work hard to build my Canadian dream.Ā
I quickly realized that if I wanted to beĀ successful, I had to network andĀ promote myself.
A couple of years later - as a result of building my network and growing my online presence - I was hired by one of the advisors to Barack Obama. During the time being, I advise high profiles on developing impactful strategic initiatives and enhance their public image.
Shortly after, I founded The Smart Woman Consulting, where I support hundreds of women cultivate their leadership influence and spearhead efforts for increased inclusivity within various organizations, including parliamentary institutions.Ā
