Get Your Tickets To The WIN Awards
When We Influence As A Collective, We Win
THE EVENT OF THE YEAR IS ABOUT TO HIT VANCOUVER ISLAND
Presented By
The WIN Awards is an inclusive platform geared to support and celebrate the power of being influential. Women, non-binary, 2-spirit, and gender-diverse people all over Nanaimo are impacting the world in positive and revolutionary ways. They are mothers, parents, leaders, entrepreneurs, business owners, creators, STEM pioneers, activists, artists, tradespeople, philanthropists, and so much more.
​
Get Your Tickets!
Our goal with the Women of Influence Nanaimo Network is to normalize the perception of people in these roles by championing what they do, who they are, and their character rather than the gender they identify with. Inclusion lies in the contrast between a sense of belonging and the pressure for people to “fit in” to groups, communities, or cultures.

Do your signals get lost in translation?
Do you want communication superpowers?
The human race relies on communicating to survive, yet we are horrible communicators. Every day we experience assumptions, conflict, triggers, and disconnect, but we never really hone our communication skills. Blaise Hunter, the author of Heroine: Embrace Your Flaws & Own Your Awesome (voted top 3 in Canada), takes you on a journey of becoming a Captain Communicator. Through this brave story of reflection, trauma-healing, and heroism you can learn how to:
• Reduce arguments and turn them into meaningful dialogues.
• Heal the internal wounds by taking control of our narratives.
• Speak the body's language.
• Become a universal translator.
"I can't help it if someone takes issue with what I'm saying or doing, but when they come at me, it is my responsibility to receive and respond with maturity, grace, and wisdom. This is how we stop the identity theft." – Blaise Hunter

"We need to hold the line on our commitment to change. Everyone can agree there are gaps in the system but where is the action? Infertility and loss aren’t just medical issues; they are also mental health ones. We can’t just talk about making mental wellness a priority, our leaders need to act. One out of four women experience infertility or loss. This means a sizable percentage of each government’s citizens are experiencing inhumane treatment or lack of empathy within the system.
The rights of women are being violated according to articles 4 and 5 in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Women are being enslaved by mental health prisons and then the very system designed to heal them, tortures them further. This must be addressed. It’s not ok to ignore anymore. I am sounding the alarm. If we claim we are the land of the free and the home of the brave and sing I stand on guard for thee, then we must commit to that very atmosphere"
Book Trailer
From one woman to another hear her battle cry: “Heroine Embrace Your Flaws & Own Your Awesome.” This is a book written by Blaise Hunter, an unexpected female warrior-turned-motivational speaker. Drawing wisdom and knowledge from her own trials and successes, she wrote a book for women who doubt themselves to stop the pontificating and work on self-sufficiency. She breaks the silence on the taboo topics of knowing one's worth, building confidence, body image, motherhood, and infertility.
​
Heroine remains true to the book's theme by using examples and clever analogies to declare the vitality of self-love. The author demonstrates the need to express one's own self because vulnerability is what connects the shred of collective experience that strengthens the line. Women will clasp their hearts as Blaise shares her lowest moment as a woman – dealing with not one, but three miscarriages.
​
With raw honesty and brave humour, Blaise imparts experience and wisdom gained from a personal journey in overcoming self-hatred and empowers women to become their own heroes. In this remarkable love story, Blaise creates a Heroine Movement by uniting women and freeing their voices. Thirty courageous women reveal their own stories of insecurities and struggles with the pursuit of perfection. Their unmasked photos included in the book provide a commanding paradigm of heroism.
​
Women today are hard-pressed to have the perfect body, be the perfect wife, and the perfect mom. They end up feeling exhausted and unworthy. Heroine shines a light on how to break the cycle of toxic thinking and shares how to find freedom in the flaws.
​
The author’s heart and passion are evident on every page. Blaise is an agitator for change and a champion for inner transformation. Heroine inspires women to draw their swords and breathe fire.
​
​
​DO YOU FEEL PRESSURE TO BE PERFECT? ARE YOU TIRED OF TRYING TO LIVE UP TO SOCIETY’S UNREALISTIC STANDARDS AND JUST WANT TO FEEL FREE?
Heroine exposes the issues women face today and demonstrates how to change the narrative. No longer do women need to be shackled to shame, guilt, and low confidence. Through this remarkable message of self-love, imperfectly perfect motherhood, postpartum depression, and even fertility struggles women will learn how to:
-
Say good-bye to a negative self image by changing the perception, not the image.
-
Discover the beauty in fully loving yourself (flaws and all!)
-
Consciously raise strong and confident children because you yourself walk with passion and purpose.
​
"For the first time in my life I let people see me. I let them see through me, and what they saw wasn’t perfect but it was Heroine.” Blaise Hunter

Footprints Infertility & Pregnancy Loss
Support Initiative
Footprints is dedicated to bringing grieving parents together. This is a safe place to process, heal, share, and gather information on how to navigate through this journey. No longer do we need to feel ashamed or sit alone with our pain. We are all Mothers of Purpose and Fathers of Destiny. It is paramount to shed light on reproductive health. The mandate for Footprints is a two-part mission:
​
1) Improve the systems on the frontlines to ensure parents get the proper care, information, and emotional support the moment their trauma happens. This includes handing out free mental health support bags worldwide. And work with governing bodies to create better protocols and procedures when handling miscarriages and loss.
​
2) Create a world-wide support community to continue the efforts in bridging the gap with emotional and mental health in the following weeks, months, and years.
​
Gender-inclusive best practices allow for integrating sexual or reproductive health topics to be standard dialogue in the workplace and in healthcare systems. It also issues an invitation for parents to feel comfortable and supported. We must advocate for the right to have access to safe, stigma-free reproductive health care conversations with our doctors, employers, and community. The goal is to normalize reproductive health and champion a culture of health, safety, and equity for everyone.

Julie Hutchison / High School Teacher
Blaise helped me so much with my brand identity and copy for my website! She was an absolute pleasure to work with on my full web development project and branding launch over a three-month period.
She was extremely professional, pleasant, timely, flexible, and was able to fully capture the vision of the project. She showed high attention to detail, she understood the energy and personality of my voice and the outcome was more than I could ever have envisioned. I thoroughly recommend Blaise if you are looking for content that will resonate with customers and create impact.
