In this weeks episode, I speak with Dwania Peele, the Owner and Executive Director of Canadian Small Business Women.
We discuss:
- how she started a resource that didn't exist when she started her own business
- how she stood out and made a lasting impression at her first networking event
- our mutual dislike for reaction of "Good For You!" as a woman in business
- how she juggles working full time, running a business, and events
- how she found success running online events early on in the pandemic
- lessons from running virtual events and how it is ever changing as we continue to navigate working and living in a pandemic
- two book she published in 2020 & why she is passionate about telling stories of female immigrants and entrepreneurs

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
