How can women of colour break free from societal expectations, heal from financial trauma, and lead with authenticity?

Join us in this transformative conversation with Lystra G. Sam, a social justice entrepreneur, community activist, and founder and managing director, Qmooniti Travel & Lifestyle.

Lystra shares her leadership journey, shaped by her upbringing in a Trinidadian household, challenges of assimilation and pivotal moments that helped her embrace her strengths. From dancing with Prince to travelling the world, Lystra's path highlights the importance of confidence, integrity, and breaking societal norms to lead authentically.
