In this episode, we're learning how to find our voice.

Celina Caesar-Chavannes is an equity and inclusion advocate and leadership consultant, and a former Member of Parliament who served as parliamentary secretary to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and to the Minister of International Development. 

During her term as an MP, Celina advocated for people suffering from mental illness and was awarded the Champion of Mental Health Parliamentarian in May 2017 by the Canadian Alliance on Mental Illness and Mental Health.

She was also named one of the Most Influential People of African Descent, Global 100 Under 40, Politics & Governance and Black Parliamentarian of the Year in 2017, and featured in the April 2018 edition of O (Oprah Winfrey) Magazine entitled, “What would you stand up for?"

Before entering politics, she was a successful entrepreneur, launching and growing an award-winning research management consulting firm with a particular focus on neurological conditions. 

Celina highlights when she realized she needed to take a stand against the Prime Minister and how she advocated for herself, how we can all create our own history and explains why analyzing our failures can be far more meaningful and insightful compared to our successes.
