Doug Sloan – owner of Talent Inc Canada It was a pleasure for us to host Shreya Patel as one of our speakers for our annual Inspire fundraiser in 2022. Shreya was easy to work with and eager to come Sarnia-Lambton. She clearly stated her speaking/presentation needs and we were able to have those accommodations set up prior to her arrival, thus very little set up time was needed when she arrived. Shreya was friendly and personable, making it easy for those in attendance to approach her, talk to her and ask questions, which Shreya was eager to answer. Shreya shared her story as a Canadian Immigrant, filmmaker, comedian, and mental health advocate. She presented with poise and relatability while weaving in humor and positivity. Shreya encouraged us to stretch ourselves out of our comfort zones and follow their dreams no matter what societal norms may teach us or what others may have in mind for our lives. We would heartily recommend you invite Shreya Patel to speak to any group who shares a foundation that amplifies intersectional feminism, advocacy for mental health supports and activists’ platforms for ending gender-based violence. May we all join together in that goal. Respectfully, Chantel Butterfield, Executive Director Thanks so much for hosting such a wonderful, thought-provoking panel. We know our attendees really enjoyed the opportunity to discuss in a safe space. Megan Hennessey Forbes | Sales Manager, ForbesLive & Content Partnerships
