“Working with Suzi has been absolutely transformative for our company. Earlier this year, we began developing the Give Back Gallery as a space for BIPOC artists to share their work and strengthen their livelihoods. Partnering with Social Mission Canada and Suzi brought our vision to life more quickly than we ever anticipated.
Having such an experienced partner and mentor gave our team high-level insight that enhanced our overall plan, streamlined our project, and helped us reach key milestones ahead of schedule. Suzi consistently went above and beyond to support our progress, and it truly made a difference to have a consultant who felt like an extension of our team.
Her guidance was insightful, kind, and practical. Our only regret is that we didn’t have more time with her! We are so grateful to Suzi and Social Mission Canada for their support and look forward with excitement to the future of the Give Back Gallery.”
