In this conversation, we’re joined by Taylor Hui, a philanthropist and entrepreneur who founded the BeaYOUtiful Foundation at just seventeen, creating free confidence and wellness programs for girls and non binary youth across Canada. Her work has reached over 5,500 young people, rooted in the belief that leadership begins by showing up with heart, not having all the answers.
