A little bit about me
Wanna know what the name of the blog means? Or just learn a bit more about me or what I do?Keep reading!
Vegan
I became vegetarian in 1997, I was 9 at the time. I later became vegan after attending a conference presented by Georges Laraque at Montreal’s vegan festival, in 2016.
CEO
I started my first business in 2006, it was a homemade jewelry store. I would create custom pieces for special events. Since then I had a couple businesses in different niche. I thought me a lot about people, management, money and it’s been the best school for me, professionally but also personally, I’ve just grown so much and I’m very grateful of everyone who’s been by my side for the ride.
I founded Les Socialites in 2020, Social Squad in 2022 and Co-Founded Wyzard in 2024 and currently working on GLDN, an e-ecommerce set to launch mid-2025. I’m also an investor at Neobox.
Nomad
I’ve always been a travel enthusiast but I think during the pandemic I started to really crave traveling because I just wasn’t able to anymore. My goal is to visit all Europe in 2025.
More about me
I discovered a couple of years ago that I have ADHD and I was also diagnosed gifted in elementary school. If you didn’t know, that’s a pretty uncommon combination and it’s called 2. Just knowing that now and how my brain functions make my life so easier.
Other interests
I believe in women empowerment, I’m a feminist (no, not the excessive type which people often assume) I just think that women should be equal, that’s all. I’m also very passionate about everything fashion, home decor, vegan beauty, cats, plants and cooking.
I also do a couple of sports such as yoga, badminton, rollerblading, ice skating and I just started recently kitesurfing and skiing.
I consider myself a philanthropist, giving time to Sage Mentorat, Fondation du Musée de la civilisation, Festival Vegan de Montreal, Jeux du Quebec and a charity I started for my brother who unfortunately passes away a couple years ago: PBP foundation.
