The Summit Where Trailblazing Women Step Into What’s Next

Your Stage for What’s Next

This day is more than a gathering, it’s a reset.
A reconnection.
A powerful return to yourself.

Presented in partnership with

TD Women in Enterprise is proud to sponsor the Evolve Summit as part of its commitment to helping women-owned and women-led businesses thrive through mentorship, resources, access to networks, amplifying women’s voices, accelerating their growth, and powering the next evolution of leadership.

Your Evolution Begins Here

You’ve mastered the art of showing up for everyone else.
But now, it’s time to show up for you.

EVOLVE is where high-capacity women gather to take the mask off.
To let go of who they were told to be and step into who they truly are.

This isn’t about doing more.
It’s about becoming more you.

It’s a full-day immersive experience designed for the woman who’s ready to evolve, not because she’s broken, but because she’s done pretending she’s fine.

Here, reinvention isn’t a risk.
It’s a return.
To your truth. Your voice. Your next level.

Because the evolution never ends and you don’t need permission to be more of yourself.

You’ll leave with clarity, confidence, and the quiet knowing that you’re allowed to be fully seen without the performance.

This isn’t just a summit.
It’s a sacred invitation to grow, change, and lead as your whole self.

This is for the woman who…

Farah Nasser

Global Speaker, Award-winning Journalist, Former Canadian National News Anchor

I did something unexpected. I started in journalism at 17 and, after reaching the top as anchor of a national newscast, I walked away.

For 25 years, I had a front-row seat to history. Millions trusted me each night to explain tough moments. I interviewed prime ministers in crisis, CEOs under fire, and everyday people whose stories broke my heart. What struck me most was how quickly smart, well-meaning leaders lost trust—simply because they stopped being real.

At the same time, I saw trust in news crumble in real time. Now the same erosion is hitting workplaces. With AI, anyone can create the “perfect” response. But when people can’t tell what’s real, everything suffers—engagement, loyalty, innovation.

The answer isn’t more AI. It’s Authentic Intelligence: the human ability to build genuine connection in a synthetic world.

I’ve won awards, given a TEDx talk on humility, and served on boards from the Canadian Journalism Foundation to Plan Canada. I’ve also swallowed a bug on live TV (yes, really).

Titles aside, I’m a mom and a believer that being human is your biggest advantage.

At just sixteen, Toni moved to Toronto to attend boarding school, later earning a Bachelor of Commerce from the University of Toronto and pursuing fashion design studies at the International Academy of Design and Technology. Her early career as a fit model and fashion buyer honed her eye for detail and sparked her belief that clothing can be both expression and empowerment.

In 2007, she founded Maison Fifi, her own clothing line in Trinidad, which grew into a boutique brand celebrated for its fresh perspective. Over time, Toni transitioned her work to balance the demands of motherhood after her son’s developmental diagnosis,  a shift that deepened her connection to authenticity, resilience, and reimagining success on her own terms.

In 2018, she returned to Toronto and began sharing her style and life journey more publicly, creating a digital platform where fashion meets real talk about motherhood, reinvention, and self-expression. Her authentic voice and eye for effortless elegance have led to national features, styling segments, and collaborations with leading brands,  including her celebrated clothing line collaboration with Reitmans, which brought her vision of accessible, confident style to women across Canada.

Today, Toni is the Resident On-Air Fashion Expert at CTV’s The Good Stuff, a trusted media personality, stylist, and influencer who inspires women to embrace their individuality, take up space with confidence, and tell their own stories through style. For her, fashion isn’t about trends — it’s about truth.
