Celebrating a Milestone: Winning the 2024 Young 2SLGBTQI+ Entrepreneur of the Year Award

interviews life Dec 02, 2024

I'm beyond honoured to share that I’ve been named the Young 2SLGBTQI+ Entrepreneur of the Year by Canada’s 2SLGBTQI+ Chamber of Commerce (CGLCC)! This recognition means so much to me, not just as a business owner, but as someone dedicated to creating gender-affirming voice education that empowers trans and nonbinary people worldwide.

The award was presented at the 9th annual Black & White Gala: Do. Dare. Dazzle. in Toronto, where I had the opportunity to deliver an acceptance speech about the journey that led me here. If you'd like to watch, you can check out the full speech here:

I also had the chance to speak with CBC about my work and the impact of gender-affirming voice education. You can listen to the interview here:

This award is not just a personal achievement—it’s a testament to the growing recognition of gender-affirming voice work as an essential part of trans and nonbinary well-being. I'm grateful to my students, my supporters, and my community for making this work possible.

Here are a few photos from the event:

Thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey. Here’s to more milestones ahead!
