What does it look like when we embrace our authentic selves, both in business and in life? Jacqueline Bialo offers a masterclass in this journey as she joins the Divas that Care Network to share her multifaceted career and philosophy.

At 47, this Edmonton-based entrepreneur defies conventional modeling standards as a successful full-figured model with 35 years in the arts and culture industry. "It was really from awareness out in the community of body positivity," Jacqueline explains about her modeling career. Her mission transcends the runway – advocating that fashion should embrace every body shape while encouraging everyone to love themselves authentically.

The conversation takes a deeper dive into business consulting, where Jacqueline's approach centers on relationship building and creating strategic connections. Rather than adopting a one-size-fits-all methodology, she works intimately with clients to uncover their passions and potential. "My strength is really relationship building," she shares, whether helping an equine center expand operations or guiding established organizations through innovation roadblocks. Her collaborative approach opens doors for entrepreneurs feeling constrained by limited time, resources, or fear of failure.

Philanthropy forms the third pillar of Jacqueline's impact through her non-profit Art Start, introducing inner-city children to various artistic expressions. Her community engagement philosophy extends beyond financial contributions: "It's not always money... it's your time, energy and resources." She champions starting locally, emphasizing that community involvement builds essential networks while developing personal skills and creating meaningful change.

Guided by her personal mantra of "people, possibility, and potential," Jacqueline exemplifies how authentic success stems from embracing one's unique qualities and using them to forge meaningful connections. Whether you're an entrepreneur seeking growth, someone struggling with body image, or simply looking to make a difference in your community, her insights offer a refreshing perspective on creating impact on your own terms.
