    About the Guest: Monique Burke

    Founder, president, and director of up and coming Toronto organization WOW Toronto, Monique Burke brings forth a wealth of knowledge through personal experience as well as she graduated from Sheridan College in the Community Outreach and Development program in 2014 where she gained insight into some of the challenge’s women face when it comes to rape/sexual assault. Her passion for empowering women has become her niche.

    Her abundance of support from family and friends, including her partner whom she has known for over 23 years, has been her rock. Her mother, who has been her confidant during the hardest of times, inspires her to show courage and bravery, which is what other survivors need to see.
