​
In the spirit of Kintsugi, we embrace our imperfections, filling each crack with golden strength. Our journey is one of transformation, symbolizing rebirth and renewal. Together, we celebrate the art of piecing together our broken parts to form a masterpiece more beautiful for having been broken.
As we care for ourselves and each other, we see the beauty of overcoming challenges. Each challenge adds to our collective tapestry, a celebration of our resilience and growth. Together we will continue to nurture our personal growth and self-care, it is in these acts that we find our truest power.
​
Every woman is a "SISTAR" who shines brighter and stronger with the support of her other women on the journey.
​
In a world where differences often lead to division, the concept of the voice of truth within a family takes on a unique significance. As the oldest of eight children, I have witnessed firsthand how each sibling's truth is shaped by their distinct experiences, goals, choices, and beliefs, despite sharing the same parents. This diversity has taught me the invaluable lesson of embracing inclusivity, nonjudgment, understanding, forgiveness, and compassion within our family dynamic.
​
Each of my siblings has walked a unique journey, facing their own challenges and triumphs along the way. Our paths may diverge, the foundation of respect for one another's truths remains unwavering. It is essential to recognize that what may be right for me may not be true for another, and vice versa. By creating an environment of acceptance and support, we empower each other to live authentically and pursue our dreams and lives.
​
As we navigate the complexities of relationships, let us remember that diversity is a strength. By acknowledging and honouring the truths within each other, we create a space where everyone feels valued and understood. Let's celebrate the our differences and embrace the beauty of individuality as we continue our journey.
​
I have always been an advocate for women's empowerment and my vision is to live a life helping women embrace their journey of sistarhood. Being blessed as the oldest sibling with 5 sisters and 2 brothers, having the bond and connection is golden.

We all thrive on positive and supportive energy, and I continues to spread love and encouragement to those around her. Together, we can create a world where all women are empowered, respected and valued to live their best lives.
​
My passion for women's empowerment began early in her life.
​
As a young girl, I witnessed firsthand the struggles that women faced in my Mennonite community. This opened my heart to a desire to make a difference to empower and others and let them know that by being themselves, trusting themselves, loving themselves they were putting something beautiful into the world, shining braver, brighter, bolder.
​​
Over the years, I have created safe spaces for women to come together and share their experiences. I believe that through sistarhood, women can strengthen their bonds and lift each other up.
​ I am here to inspire women to embrace their journeys and to become the best versions of themselves. I have proven that with the right support and encouragement, anything is possible. My legacy as a women's advocate will continue to inspire and empower women and is woven into the tapestry of the next generation of SiSTARS under an umbrella of love.
​
Is today going to be a day you dim your light a little and pause or shine braver brighter, and bolder?
Each day we have a kaleidoscope of choices, that will shape our lives for years to come. We can accept these blessings of opportunities, learn from them and make better choices in the future. We are stronger, wiser and ready, we can make this our best year yet at achieving what it is we want and need to be
​
Celebrates our chrysalis journey,
embracing our true selves to
empower one another, engaging with our deepest truths,
exploring our potential, and
evolving into the empowered women we are destined to be.
Let's weave the ethereal threads of our feminine energy,
connecting us to each other and to the divine.
