Voices of Impact Webinar Series

Voices of Impact is a new speaker series designed to inspire, mentor, and connect students with successful Indigenous and Métis entrepreneurs, storytellers, and thought leaders.

The series is led by Jada Yee, Rawlinson Executive in Residence in Indigenous Entrepreneurship, and brings real-world stories, guidance, and mentorship opportunities directly to students.

Each session will feature a local entrepreneur sharing their journey—highlighting both challenges and successes—followed by an interactive Q&A where students can ask questions, gain insights, and explore how culture, identity, and entrepreneurship intersect in practice.

This series aims to:

  • Showcase the impact of Indigenous and Métis entrepreneurship.

  • Provide mentorship and guidance for students exploring their own leadership and career paths.

  • Create space for authentic storytelling and meaningful conversation.
