Women who dare to dream big, aspire to reach new heights and have a spirit of enterprise were united on Sunday at the ‘We Rise Experience’ Summit in Toronto, Canada to connect, and celebrate their entrepreneurial milestones.
Originally founded by Treasa Leigh Brown, We Rise Experience was initiated in pursuit of creating a space and community for entrepreneurs to collectively partner together to acquire business resources, network and essentially champion one another. The Toronto based company has quickly reached acclaim, with over 200+ guests attending the interactive one-day summit and including a variety of speakers driven to inspire.

Claire gave advice to fellow female creatives about how to effectively run a business and navigate challenges that successful people inevitably encounter. Sulmers expressed, “What I can tell you now, looking back that if you take your business seriously from the very beginning, bet on success, say this is going to be my full time job, work tirelessly every single day, be consistent and persistent, that a setback is just a set up for success.”
The event included a series of panel sessions, workshops and multiple opportunities for attendees to step into their power and open their minds up to new ways of thinking. Affirmations and messages like, “You need to start believing that nothing is too good for you” was transformative and allowed women bosses to feel empowered.
