​When a Woman Rises – Why Female Founders are the Future

​Thursday, November 26 · 6–9 PM · Verity Club, Toronto

​Celebrating 10 Years of Love Not Fear

​An evening of feminine courage, creativity, and connection.

​Ten years ago, Tanya LeBlanc founded Love Not Fear Inc with a vision to inspire women to embrace who they are, express themselves boldly, and choose love over fear.

​A decade later, we’re coming together to celebrate her journey and the women who have been part of it.

​When a Woman Rises is a celebration of everything that makes us women. Our strength and softness, ambition and intuition, creativity and individuality.

​Because rising isn’t only about what we achieve. It’s also about embracing who we are, enjoying our feminine essence, and lifting one another along the way.

​What to Expect

​Real Conversations with Female Founders

​Join Tanya LeBlanc of Love Not Fear Inc, Maria Locker of RevolutionHER, and Bruna Dicecca of Ritual Beauty & Wellness for an honest conversation about building businesses as women.

​We’ll talk about ambition, intuition, courage, the challenges behind entrepreneurship, and what it means to grow while staying true to ourselves.

​The conversation will be moderated by Muneera Qureshi, CEO of JC+CO Growth Accelerants, a technology led Shopify Plus agency. As an entrepreneur and growth strategist, Muneera works with founders to build, grow, and scale their businesses. She brings her experience as both a business owner and an advisor to a conversation about what it truly takes for women to succeed.

​Expect real stories, laughter, and an opportunity to ask your own questions.

​Fashion, Jewellery & Feminine Expression

​Celebrate ten years of Love Not Fear with a special showing of Tanya’s signature wrap dresses and jewellery.

​Explore the collection, discover pieces that speak to you, and enjoy an evening of fashion, creativity, and self-expression.

​Connection & Celebration

​Meet inspiring women, reconnect with friends, make new connections, and celebrate the power of women supporting women.

​Come dressed in something that makes you feel beautiful!
