Congrats!! Amazing news. 🎉

But also, one of the most important things you mentioned to me is this mindset: "Why not at least try?"

Thanks, Sandra!! Appreciate you following my journey and being a supporter along the way. You’re awesome! 🫶

And 100% that mindset changes everything. I feel like as women we tend to discount our credibility in comparison to men (generally speaking, of course).

But seeing women I admire share how this question changed their mindset inspired me to do the same. We shouldn’t “self-reject” without taking our shot, right? :)

This is actually the question that led me to apply to be an Editor! :D

So I am 100000% with you on this.

CONGRATS!!!!!! SO HAPPY FOR YOU

You are also inspiring me to look into grants myself 🤔

Thank you!! And DO IT. There must be. I'm still shocked at how I worked at a startup hub and no one ever mentioned this (especially when the topic of grants came up).

None of my friends and family members in Montreal had heard of it either.

Grants can be very obscure. So I would ask founders/creators in your area.
