A Letter to Lisa

Monday, August 15, we woke to the shocking news over Twitter, one of the most powerful women in media was blindsided by a “business decision”. Lisa LaFlamme’s 35-year career as Chief News Anchor and Senior Editor for CTV National News came to an abrupt end, with no final farewell.

Lisa’s post “I have some news….” on Twitter has gone viral and has been seen by over 4.5 million people on Twitter alone. It is appalling and disappointing to see the #ageism and #sexism that exists. We applaud her dignity, courage and strength.

Lisa is an award-winning journalist. She is a pioneer and highly respected in the media industry. She is a brave, outspoken and powerful female leader who embodies the word role model.

We want her to know she has an army of people behind her. It is time to drive change.

We have an idea and need your help.

We would love to honour Lisa LaFlamme for her life’s work, as a female role model, trusted journalist, humanitarian and dedicated news correspondent.

Imagine receiving letters from the people whose lives you have touched, impacted or motivated you. Regardless of the level of success, being recognized for your work, by your peers and the people you touch is incredibly meaningful.

Lisa has touched the lives of many people over her 35-year career. We invite you to share your thoughts as a tribute for consideration (max 300 words) in our upcoming issue of the UWomen Magazine.

Submit your Letter to Lisa and a headshot (high res) of yourself in the greyscale to support Dove’s antiaging #keepitgrey initiative. The deadline is August 31, 2022.

Thank you for your support to SupportHER!
