Leena Yousefi Named as one of the Top 100 Most Powerful Women in Canada

In November of 2022, Leena Yousefi was chosen by the Women's Executive Network (WXN) as one of the Top 100 Most Powerful Women in Canada. This prestigious award is given to 100 women at the top of their fields - those who are trailblazers and inspirational to others. Leena was chosen by WXN as a true innovator within the business of law and was honored to receive this award because of her relentless pursuit of gender equality, better workplace environment and her success as a prominent family lawyer. Her message: 20 years ago I lost 30 pounds & looked anorexic because I couldn't afford much food after using my earnings from dishwashing at university to pay for my tuition. No one believed in me and I didn't blame them as I had already been kicked out of university once, and this was my second chance. But those days when the dirty water from the spray washer would shoot back from the plates into my eyes and make them teary, I would smile because I had a dream. And no one and nothing could take it away from me. Fast forward 20 years, and I have been honored to be named as one of Canada's Top 100 Most Powerful Women by Women's Executive Network (WXN) before reaching 40 years of age. I don't have magic talents, I don't come from a privileged background, I didn't have a penny of financial backing and no real connections. All I had and have is resilience. And I get that resilience from the same place women in Iran get by risking being murdered for not wearing a piece of cloth of their heads. The athletes/journalists who are getting raped, kidnapped, and jailed for singing, showing their hair or dancing as the world watches. Those, my friends, are the Top Most Powerful Women in World, not me. This goes to you my Goddesses, my warriors, my role models. Check out all winners.
