Women at the Forefront: Spotlighting the Success of Our Female Clients

Being a proudly female-founded, owned, and operated organization (a Certified WBE Canada one, at that!), we love supporting and working with other women whenever we can.

In celebration of International Women’s Day, we wanted to highlight and celebrate some of the incredible women in our communities and networks who Ethical Digital has had the pleasure of working with in the past or are helping drive their initiative forward today.

When we look at this line up, we can’t help but be in awe of all the incredible things these women are doing and achieving. These individuals and businesses all deserve a huge round of applause for pursuing a diverse, equitable, and inclusive world—always celebrating and valuing all our unique differences along the way.

These women truly do #EmbraceEquity.

Charlene Sanjenko | PowHERhouse

She started PowHERhouse as a community of practice for diverse leaders, changemakers and social impacters ready to walk a path of relational leadership for future generations.

Janna Dutton | Conversations Over Coffee

Janna describes herself as a thriving, heart-centred entrepreneur, and we couldn’t agree more. She owns multiple Tim Hortons restaurants in the Saskatoon area, and during COVID—a time where we all felt so disconnected—she launched Conversations Over Coffee as a personal mission to connect with her community authentically and to learn and hear the stories of others. 

These stories have been published as books, and you can find them here.
