Being a queer entrepreneur today can mean navigating visibility, leadership, and business growth in a shifting and at times hostile social climate. This 90 minute session, hosted by 2SLGBTQIA+ community advocate and human rights expert Mica Daurie, creates space for honest conversation, practical strategies, and collective learning.

You will learn how changing social and political climates are impacting queer entrepreneurs across Canada and in Atlantic communities, how to assess and strengthen online and in person safety, how to respond to difficult situations with clarity and boundaries, and how to lead your messaging with empathy and confidence in times of rising hate.

Participants will hear insights from Mica, engage in open dialogue, and leave with practical tools and renewed connection to a supportive network of queer entrepreneurs and organizations.
