Throughout history, the strongest leaders exhibit resilience: the ability to change and transform under pressure, find new solutions and discover new ways of being.

From Pakistani education activist Malala Yousafzai to Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg to Canada's own Governor General Mary Simon - the look and perspective of leadership is changing.

During this critical time in human history, the need for resilience on the part of governments, businesses, institutions and

families has perhaps never been greater. Memorial University is proud to present a day devoted to stories of resilience with the aim of inspiring people to reimagine leadership for themselves and for those identifying as women everywhere.

Reimagining Leadership, an annual conference, is an opportunity for Newfoundland and Labrador’s leaders of today and tomorrow to explore their own potential and learn how they can make a difference in the future of this province and beyond.

MORNING Samra Zafar (SHE/HER) escaped a decade of abuse living as a child

bride in Canada. She pursued her education as a single mother working multiple jobs, earning her bachelor’s and master’s in economics with the highest distinction as a top student. She shares her story to empower people across the globe, to embolden those who feel defeated to pursue their dreams and independence. Her non-profit organization, Brave Beginnings, mentors abuse survivors in their journey to pursue their goals and improve their lives. She is currently attending medical school at McMaster University, pursuing her own goal to become a doctor in the field of mental health. Her memoir, A Good Wife: Escaping the Life I Never Chose, became an instant bestseller, received rave reviews and was a top read in The Washington Post in 2019.

Sheila Watt-Cloutier (SHE/HER), a Canadian Inuit activist and political representative, was born in Kuujjuaq, Nunavik in Northern Quebec.

Her mother was a skillful healer and interpreter, and her father an officer for the RCMP. For the first 10 years of her life, she was raised travelling on the land by dog sled. On Dec. 7, 2005, based on the findings of the Arctic Climate Impact Assessment, which projects that Inuit hunting culture may not survive the loss of sea ice and other changes projected over the coming decades, she launched the world's first international legal action on climate change. With 62 Inuit Hunters and Elders from communities across Canada and Alaska, Sheila travelled to the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, alleging that unchecked emissions of greenhouse gases from the United States have violated Inuit cultural and environmental human rights, as guaranteed by the 1948 American Declaration of the Rights and Duties of Man.

AFTERNOON Liz Murray (SHE/HER) was born in the Bronx in

S INCLUDNEEL NL PA

1980 to parents who lived with poverty and substance use. Finding herself homeless at the age of 15 and determined to take control of her life, she successfully completed high school in just two years and was awarded a full scholarship to Harvard University. After graduation, Liz went on to receive a master's degree in the psychology of education from Columbia University. Today she is a passionate advocate for underserved youth. As co-founder and executive director of The Arthur Project (named for a trusted family friend who supported her quest for a better life), Liz Murray is working to end generational poverty through relationship-based learning.
