Event: From Law to Fashion: Building a Brand with Purpose
We were thrilled to welcome Emma May, a true trailblazer of purpose and pivoting.
A former lawyer, political staffer, and real estate executive, Emma shared the story behind her bold leap into entrepreneurship with the founding of Sophie Grace, a brand redefining professional wear for women. Her journey is a powerful example of resilience, reinvention, and building a business with both intention and heart.
Driven by a lifelong passion for fashion, Emma created Sophie Grace to meet the needs of modern women, designing clothing that is elegant, comfortable, and practical for busy lives. Her ability to identify a gap in the market and take decisive action has positioned her as an inspiring leader in Canadian entrepreneurship.
Emma’s career has spanned multiple industries, including law, politics, and founding Charles Real Estate, giving her a unique and well-rounded perspective on growth, leadership, and taking calculated risks.
A proud mother of two, Emma leads by example in both business and life, encouraging others to pursue their ambitions with confidence.
This session offered an inspiring look at what is possible when you are willing to take a leap, trust your vision, and create something meaningful.
