Chloe Shingoose – Canadian Singer, 2020 Women of Inspiration Youth Excellence | @Chloeshingoose.music

Miss Chloe Shingoose was born on a Friday the 13th February 2004. You would think this would be a bad omen, but the girl has grit and silly superstitions were just another obstacle to be tackled. She has been a force since toddlerhood, never afraid to speak her mind (no matter how much it embarrassed her mother), and was often found singing as loudly as her tiny voice would allow, from Adelle to an inspirational song about whatever was going on view at that very moment, many one-hit wonders about papa’s tractors or birds, she has under her belt. Music has always moved this beautiful soul, after excelling in the choir, solo vocals, piano, and guitar, Chloe decided to take a break from conventional music and spends most days learning the ballads that speak to her. If you are lucky, she shares the odd beauty on rare occasions or is asked to sing for the odd event. She’s humble with her harmony, much to her family’s dismay. At the age of 10, Chloe decided to broaden her talents and start Baseball and Hockey. Baseball came naturally to this girl, home runs, were added to her list of “can dos.” Hockey on the other hand was a different story. Her grandmother said it was more like watching bowling than hockey, as Chloe skated full speed towards the puck, tripped, and took out anyone within a 6-foot radius. Our little bull in a china shop worked hard, and within a few years had caught her teammates and continues to gain skills and break goals as now she plays the highest level of hockey now for the past three years. It shows what hard work can do. Baseball in the summers, hockey in the winter, singing at events in-between. You can’t buy grit, and Chloe has it in spades. Academics follow suit with this hard-working girl’s aspirations, always striving for the best, to allow for the best future. You are an inspiration to all that meet you. You, my girl, are what happens when women believe in themselves, live without fear, and push those boundaries others place on them. The future is bright for you, Chloe Shingoose, keep working hard, pushing limits, and breaking glass ceilings.

Chloe Shingoose – Canadian Singer, 2020 Women of Inspiration Youth Excellence | @Chloeshingoose.music

Miss Chloe Shingoose was born on a Friday the 13th February 2004. You would think this would be a bad omen, but the girl has grit and silly superstitions were just another obstacle to be tackled. She has been a force since toddlerhood, never afraid to speak her mind (no matter how much it embarrassed her mother), and was often found singing as loudly as her tiny voice would allow, from Adelle to an inspirational song about whatever was going on view at that very moment, many one-hit wonders about papa’s tractors or birds, she has under her belt. Music has always moved this beautiful soul, after excelling in the choir, solo vocals, piano, and guitar, Chloe decided to take a break from conventional music and spends most days learning the ballads that speak to her. If you are lucky, she shares the odd beauty on rare occasions or is asked to sing for the odd event. She’s humble with her harmony, much to her family’s dismay. At the age of 10, Chloe decided to broaden her talents and start Baseball and Hockey. Baseball came naturally to this girl, home runs, were added to her list of “can dos.” Hockey on the other hand was a different story. Her grandmother said it was more like watching bowling than hockey, as Chloe skated full speed towards the puck, tripped, and took out anyone within a 6-foot radius. Our little bull in a china shop worked hard, and within a few years had caught her teammates and continues to gain skills and break goals as now she plays the highest level of hockey now for the past three years. It shows what hard work can do. Baseball in the summers, hockey in the winter, singing at events in-between. You can’t buy grit, and Chloe has it in spades. Academics follow suit with this hard-working girl’s aspirations, always striving for the best, to allow for the best future. You are an inspiration to all that meet you. You, my girl, are what happens when women believe in themselves, live without fear, and push those boundaries others place on them. The future is bright for you, Chloe Shingoose, keep working hard, pushing limits, and breaking glass ceilings.

Having lost her mother at the tender age of 14, at her mother’s death bed, she made a promise to her to be a doctor in Zimbabwe. Destiny led her to Canada where she and her family found themselves living in Community Housing in Toronto, subjected to social ills that could have deterred her from her path, despite these circumstances she rose from the ashes. Her journey leading to the fulfillment of the promise has been one filled with loss, pain, failures, mistakes, resilience, courage, faith, hope, grace and overcoming adversity.

Chloe Shingoose – Canadian Singer, 2020 Women of Inspiration™ Youth Excellence | @Chloeshingoose.music

Miss Chloe Shingoose was born on a Friday the 13th February 2004. You would think this would be a bad omen, but the girl has grit and silly superstitions were just another obstacle to be tackled. She has been a force since toddlerhood, never afraid to speak her mind (no matter how much it embarrassed her mother), and was often found singing as loudly as her tiny voice would allow, from Adelle to an inspirational song about whatever was going on view at that very moment, many one-hit wonders about papa’s tractors or birds, she has under her belt. Music has always moved this beautiful soul, after excelling in the choir, solo vocals, piano, and guitar, Chloe decided to take a break from conventional music and spends most days learning the ballads that speak to her. If you are lucky, she shares the odd beauty on rare occasions or is asked to sing for the odd event. She’s humble with her harmony, much to her family’s dismay. At the age of 10, Chloe decided to broaden her talents and start Baseball and Hockey. Baseball came naturally to this girl, home runs, were added to her list of “can dos.” Hockey on the other hand was a different story. Her grandmother said it was more like watching bowling than hockey, as Chloe skated full speed towards the puck, tripped, and took out anyone within a 6-foot radius. Our little bull in a china shop worked hard, and within a few years had caught her teammates and continues to gain skills and break goals as now she plays the highest level of hockey now for the past three years. It shows what hard work can do. Baseball in the summers, hockey in the winter, singing at events in-between. You can’t buy grit, and Chloe has it in spades. Academics follow suit with this hard-working girl’s aspirations, always striving for the best, to allow for the best future. You are an inspiration to all that meet you. You, my girl, are what happens when women believe in themselves, live without fear, and push those boundaries others place on them. The future is bright for you, Chloe Shingoose, keep working hard, pushing limits, and breaking glass ceilings.

LeadHER Series – Adrianne Fekete – Founder and CEO, Star Quality Private Investigations | 100 Women of Inspiration™ Book Contributor | @STARPI
When someone is as driven, passionate, and fiercely independent as Adrianne, owning a business is a natural career choice. Adrianne is one of the first women to venture into running fully licensed, private investigations and security businesses in Ontario; and certainly, the lady with the longest tenure in the role to date. She has led her agency to success repeatedly as a straight-talking, transparent, and compassionate leader committed to ensuring safety and uncovering compelling evidence that reflects the truth. And, supporting individuals as they were forced to face it and the impact it brought into their life. In 2020, her agency was nominated for Small Business of the Year, Team of the Year, and Businesswomen of the Year. Adrianne credits being Canada’s 2020 RBC Small Business of the Year Award recipient, to her amazing Team’s work ethic. Currently, Adrianne is a credited Private Investigator Media Expert, a 100 Women of Inspiration™️ Book Contributor, a Global and National Ambassador for the Universal Womens Network™️ as well as a 2021 Women of Inspiration™ Nominee.
Adrianne began her career as a Public Relations Specialist in the Music and Film Industry. She worked for the industry’s most creative professionals who quickly identified her broader scope of capabilities and guided her experience and success beyond public relations to executive protection. Rising quickly to the challenge resulted in her working alongside some of the most legendary celebrities; individuals like Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Bono, Samuel L. Jackson, and Colin Farrell to share a few. Adrianne’s potential as a savvy businesswoman and multi-talented force within the industry made her the ultimate choice to manage executive protection for two World Tours with The Rolling Stones, The 360 Tour with U2, Suicide Squad, Canadian Idol, The Molson Indy, WWE, the G8, and G20.
Her ever-present passion for helping others in their personal growth and achievement led to her certification by Anthony Robbins as a Life Coach. It is the combination of her background in public relations, executive protection, and life coaching with her fearless mindset and business insight that culminated in Adrianne stepping into a male-dominated industry; and launching Star Quality Private Investigations.
Over the last two decades, Adrianne has been a pioneer within the private investigation industry, tackling the under-serviced and emotionally charged sector of clients facing infidelity, child custody, family law, divorce, and separation. She established successful investigation programs, surveillance protocols, and case management procedures, ensuring business success and growth year over year since she launched her business. And exercised her compassionate, relatable nature through supporting distraught clients with life coaching services.
Optimizing the expertise and skills found within the law enforcement industry, Adrianne chose to focus on hiring former and retired Detectives and Sergeants from police departments across Ontario for her investigative team. Not only did this ensure business success right out of the gate, but she was also able to expand her business quickly to include corporate investigations and security sectors over the years.

Laura Grant – 2020 Women of Inspiration™ Innovation Award
Alberta Bike Swap is a private non-profit founded by Laura Grant and her husband Chris. They provide a safe, affordable and accessible alternative to buying or selling bicycles online. Alberta Bike Swap has always donated more than half the profit back to the community to fund other cycling-related non-profits, provide transportation security, and fund safe cycling. As a Software Product Manager, Laura designed the software for the bike swaps events and is designing a unique white label platform to take bike swap to the world market as Swaportunity. In 2021 Canada will ban single use plastic, so Laura got an industrial design patent on a dry cleaning garment bag (usefulbags.ca) and turned that into a social enterprise that pays farm women a living wage to sew textile produce bags from fabric that would typically end up in the landfill, the fabric waste is then vermicomposted.

Dr Sonya Richmond – Come Walk With Us | Royal Canadian Geographical Society Expedition Leader | @ComeWalkwithUsonthe GreatTrail | @TransCanadaWalk
Dr. Sonya Richmond completed an HBSc in Biology and Environmental Resource Science, an MSc in Watershed Ecosystems Management from Trent University, and a PhD in Forestry at the University of Toronto. Her post-doctoral research was at Bird Studies Canada as a Geographic Information Systems Analyst. She has won national scholarships, presented at professional academic conferences, published peer-reviewed articles, and worked on award-winning publications.
In 2019 she sold her house and suspended her career to venture across Canada on the 24,000km long Trans Canada Trail with the goal of inspiring people of all ages, abilities, cultures, genders, orientations, and identities to reconnect with nature through Citizen Science. Fewer have completed this trek on foot than have gone to the moon, and none have done so for a cause, with the primary purpose of promoting diversity, accessibility, and multiculturalism outdoors while inspiring youth to become advocates for nature, engaged explorers, and community leaders.
Her inspiring undertaking has been featured in media around the world, been highlighted as one of Canada’s top Travel Bloggers, been made a Trans Canada Trail Pathfinder, a member of the prestigious Explorer’s Club, a Fellow of the Royal Canadian Geographical Society, and recently been named an RCGS Expedition!
