How Brampton’s Resilient Woman Program is rewriting the rules on gender equity

Meet the Motivators (MTM) has been changing the landscape for women’s empowerment across Canada. On Saturday, October 18^th, 2025, the nonprofit launched its groundbreaking Resilient Woman Program in Brampton, a bold initiative designed to transform how women heal, lead, and thrive.

Founded by visionary leader and business strategist Jacqueline Dixon, MTM champions gender equity in leadership and entrepreneurship. The new program focuses on equipping women with real tools to overcome trauma, gain financial literacy, and turn pain into purpose.

The launch brought together expert facilitators who introduced three core pillars: entrepreneurship success, non-traditional careers, and mental wellness. Each pillar offers practical pathways for women to build independence and emotional strength, two vital ingredients in the fight against gender-based violence (GBV).

In a recent post on MTM’s Facebook page, the organization shared heartfelt gratitude, “Thank you for making the Brampton launch unforgettable. Your passion and support made this event a true celebration of resilience, empowerment, and community.”

The following day, MTM announced Mrs. Universe Jamaica, Mariam Rose, as the official Ambassador for the Resilient Woman Program. Known for her advocacy in education and women’s empowerment, Rose personifies the program’s mission of strength and grace through purpose-driven leadership.

Up next, on Saturday, November 8^th, 2025, MTM will host a Mental Health Wellness Workshop Series titled “Reclaiming Your Life on Your Terms” at Sheridan College, Davis Campus. This free, trauma-informed series, led by Donna Campbell, Registered Nurse and founder of Live by Design Wellness, will help women break free from emotional cycles and reclaim confidence, control, and clarity.

“These women are redefining what leadership looks like in spaces where women’s voices are often underrepresented.”

Participants will:

• Build emotional awareness and resilience
• Learn evidence-based healing strategies
• Connect with a community of like-minded women
• Take actionable steps toward independence

By the end of the four-week series, attendees will:

• Break free from love addiction and codependency
• Build confidence through emotional balance
• Develop a personal roadmap for lasting empowerment

On Wednesday, November 9^th, 2025, MTM will also host a virtual open house featuring two trailblazing women in non-traditional careers:

• Desiree T. Smith, Journeyperson in Carpentry and Tile Setting, and Equity & Inclusion Advocate
• Tara Myshrall, Visionary Tech Leader and Empowerment Strategist

These women are redefining what leadership looks like in spaces where women’s voices are often underrepresented.

At its core, the Resilient Woman Program is about transformation. It helps women move from endurance to empowerment, reclaiming their narrative and financial freedom with confidence and purpose.
