Hi BWS Community,

Our third amazing speaker is Selena Woo. She is Vice President, Private Wealth – Associates at Nicola Wealth, where she leads a national client-facing division and drives strategic initiatives that expand advisor capacity, strengthen client experience, and fuel business growth. Her work focuses on designing scalable talent and operating strategies that build high-performing teams, strengthen leadership pipelines, and position the firm for long-term success.
 
With more than 20 years in financial services, Woo is recognized as a leader who develops people as intentionally as she develops strategy. A Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA) and Certified Financial Planner (CFP), she is passionate about creating opportunities, expanding access, and helping people realize their potential at every stage of their careers.
 
Woo is a frequent contributor to leadership and financial literacy conversations, sharing her experience through workshops and public forums that support youth, women, and underserved communities. Beyond Nicola Wealth, she is an active volunteer and board leader. She serves on the boards of JA British Columbia and CPA British Columbia, mentors through VersaFi, and supports initiatives with the Vancouver Chinatown Foundation, The Forum, and Dress for Success Vancouver, where she Chairs the Success Luncheon.
 
Woo believes wealth is not just what you earn, but what you enable. Through her leadership, she is committed to building environments where people can grow, lead, and create opportunities for others, strengthening not only the future of wealth management, but the communities and organizations they serve.

Hi BWS Community,

Our second fantastic speaker is Jessie Kaur Lehail! She is a transformative force in women’s advocacy, health equity, and social change.  

As CEO of the Kaur Collective Foundation, she redefines representation of Sikh and South Asian women’s health, food security labour, collective care, and narrative medicine. Her work builds frameworks and guidelines that provide cultural specificity, creative power, and systems thinking to issues that have too often been addressed without the leadership of the communities most affected.

She is the Founder and CEO of Mother Tongue Inc., an emerging health technology venture advancing language infrastructure for health platforms. Mother Tongue is being built to confront one of health care’s most persistent and consequential barriers: the assumption that translation alone creates access. Its vision is to make language equity a foundational part of health innovation rather than an afterthought.

As a UBC researcher with Dr. Lesa Dawson, she brings cultural insight to critical studies on hereditary ovarian cancer testing among South Asian women. In her role as Vancouver Chapter Director for Shelter Movers, Jessie leads frontline action to protect and empower survivors of gender-based violence.

She moves fluently between frontline response, research, entrepreneurship, systems change, governance, and public storytelling, bringing together people and institutions to advance solutions that are culturally grounded, survivor-centred, and designed for real-world impact.

With over 15 years of impact, Jessie fuses strategy, advocacy, and artistry — also expressing her vision as a professional contemporary abstract painter.

Hi BWS Community,

We spent the afternoon doing what community does best: connecting, sharing stories, exchanging ideas, and making space for meaningful conversations!

We loved seeing women from different industries, backgrounds, and stages of their careers come together, support one another, and make new connections.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and made the afternoon so special!
