#BreakTheBias Resilient. It’s a word that women’s rights leaders have embodied to achieve the goals we’ve
accomplished over the centuries. It also describes how Manitobans have responded to, and navigated through, the testy waters of the past two years. As we celebrate International Women’s Day, the Free Press encountered the happy problem of having an abundance of resilient women that we could highlight, and it was difficult to choose just a few to share their amazing stories. We spotlight CEOs of businesses and non-profits, local entrepreneurs, a groundbreaking politician and a future leader of tomorrow. These individuals have remarkable stories of overcoming difficulties, embracing positive goals, giving back to the community and possessing a deep love of the province where they live. Join us in celebrating the women who understand the meaning of being resilient. Let’s hope their stories will inspire us to follow that lead!
