How can women of colour break free from societal expectations, heal from financial trauma, and lead with authenticity?

Join us in this transformative conversation with Lystra G. Sam, a social justice entrepreneur, community activist, and founder and managing director, Qmooniti Travel & Lifestyle.

Lystra shares her leadership journey, shaped by her upbringing in a Trinidadian household, challenges of assimilation and pivotal moments that helped her embrace her strengths. From dancing with Prince to travelling the world, Lystra's path highlights the importance of confidence, integrity, and breaking societal norms to lead authentically.

Lystra delves deep into the impact of money trauma on Black and Indigenous women and shares how the Trauma of Money program helped her heal and reshape her relationship with money. By addressing generational and systemic financial trauma, Lystra advocates for healthier money management, leadership growth, and businesses prioritizing well-being. She stresses that healing from trauma is crucial before achieving financial stability and leadership success.

Together, we reflect on how critical regulation of our nervous systems as women of colour is to heal trauma and break free from unhealthy financial and work patterns. By creating this ripple effect of healing within, trust, community building, and empowerment will be possible for future generations.

Embrace healing in your leadership journey by understanding your relationship to money, trusting your intuition and creating new habits.
