Look for Strength
Look for Strength tells short stories about strong individuals from around the world.
You'll hear from people who started companies, have saved lives, or have overcome adversity.
Maybe, like me, you feel our world has been turned upside down in the last few years, and sometimes, you just need some strength.
You’ll hear each person share their story and the meaning of strength.
And maybe, in this, you’ll find what makes you strong – and believe you are, and can be more exceptional than you think.

Resilience & Women in Politics: Aysha Emmerson
Aysha Emmerson didn’t want to be defined by her illness. But she realized that by staying silent, she was fuelling the stigma.
So Aysha shared her story.
She founded the SELF.IE camps to empower young girls, addressed over 18,000 We Day Vancouver participants in 2017, and recently graduated with a degree in resilience studies from Harvard University.
We talked about her recent work in policy-making, and why she decided to share her mental health journey with so many.
