Resilience should no longer be a point of celebration - too many of us carry the weight of expectations to work harder, do better and play a constant game of proving ourselves in workplace environments that aren't designed for us as Black, Indigenous and women of colour. In this dynamic and powerful conversation with Chivon John - Workplace Wellness Lead for Shopify, Board Member, Speaker and Entrepreneur, we dig into the power of true self care to move further towards being well at work and accessing and celebrating the fullness of ourselves to truly thrive in our lives.
