“Women often face challenges that are invisible to others, from societal expectations to balancing multiple roles to pursuing their ambitions unapologetically.  Essentially withstanding the pressure to excel in all aspects of life. By holding space for each other’s feelings, thoughts and experiences, we create an environment where vulnerability is met with understanding, not dismissal.”

“I would like to see the next generation of women at Emmanuel College continue to strive to achieve what they want and persist if barriers are put in their way.”

“It’s so important to ask for and apply for opportunities, to speak up and to let people know what you want and where you want to go. So many opportunities can come by chance through conversations so if you don’t share these aspirations with others, these opportunities will probably pass you by.”

“Although I’m still figuring things out myself, if I were starting at Emmanuel again, I’d remind myself to nurture the connections around me. There are so many inspiring women in this community—learn from them, support them, and let them remind you not to play small.”

Taylor is currently studying a Master of Professional Psychology.

“The idea of ‘having it all’ seems outdated and too simplistic. New and progressive solutions are needed if women are to have meaningful, decision-making positions in the world.”
