“Women are set to control 65% of wealth by 2030 and 50% of wealth by 2026. It is imperative that women get involved in our future.”
As Canada’s economy and social landscape continue to evolve, it is becoming increasingly important for all individuals - especially women of diverse backgrounds - to possess strong financial acumen. Through The51, Movement51, and Her Story pitch competition, Shelley and Salima are dedicated to providing educational opportunities that will enable women to access more capital and make meaningful contributions to the economy. By including those who may not otherwise have a voice or a stake in the system, we can create a stronger world for everyone.
