Speaking Up and Including Others - With How She Hustles Founder, Emily Mills

I am so excited to welcome my guest today! A few words from a
long list to describe her: trailblazer, changemaker, and
inspirer.  


I’m talking about Emily Mills, who has been recognized by WXN
Canada’s Top 100 Most Powerful Women, 100 Accomplished Black
Canadian Women, and Ryerson University’s Alumni Achievement
Awards - to name a few.  


Emily has brought women from the "How She Hustles" community to
meet former U.S. First Lady Michelle Obama, and hosted a
roundtable with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau - to highlight a
few. Emily founded "How She Hustles" in 2010 - and since then,
she has created one of Canada’s leading social networks for
diverse professional women – from entrepreneurs who are making
their mark in the start-up ecosystem, to corporate professionals
who are changing the leadership landscape.  


Hear Emily share a beautiful message of gratitude at 29:23min.


"I've had some amazing things happen, some of them you mentioned
- of course our time lines don't tell the whole story, our
digital bios don't tell the whole story... but if I look at the
sum of my life, I am so grateful. Man, there have been so many
things, even the things that were hard as hell. I feel like my
steps were divinely ordered. And I don't say that with arrogance,
but with the utmost humility. Like, my life was designed for a
reason - all of our lives  were designed for a reason. And I
guess I just feel even more aware of that - now more than ever."
