In the spirit of celebrating 30 remarkable years in business, Victoria's Attic is on a mission to shine a light on the extraordinary women of the Peace Region.
These are the trailblazers, the innovators, and the creators of positive change destined to resonate for years to come.
“Your world will be as beautiful as you make it. You plant a garden, weed it, water it, check the soil, protect it from hail and then reap this incredible harvest. The same is true with life. You get out of it what you put into it. So plant the good stuff and take care of what is around you.”
"There is always someone who needs you... Make eye contact, smile at strangers, and never be afraid to say hello - it commits you to nothing other than being a kind person."
“My legacy would be one that encourages future generations of women to embrace their unique strengths, overcome challenges with grace, and uplift each other in solidarity. I hope to inspire a legacy where women continue to break barriers, amplify their voices, and shape a world where equality and compassion thrive.”
"I want women to know that they're capable of everything and anything. I want them to know they are worthy: worthy of healing, worthy of learning, and worthy of growing,"
"I believe in service above self. However, I also believe that 'You cannot give from an empty vessel; to give to others, you must fill yourself.'"
"Feel the fear and do it anyway! Never compromise your ethics or values and always trust your gut. And never be afraid to walk away from something that doesn’t feel right. Go where you are wanted and welcome. And dream big… If people aren’t laughing at your goals then they aren’t big enough!”
”We give what we can when we can. Every tiny piece adds up, and over time, we can build large pyramids from which we can enjoy the view.”
“I hope that the women that come behind us understand the importance of giving back to our community but also, the importance of looking after their mental and physical wellbeing. Looking after ourselves is the most important thing we can do in order to help others.”
“Believe in yourself and the power that as a woman you hold. Follow the things in life that light you up inside. Look for the spark!”
“Remember that life is short, go for what you want and one person can truly make a difference, you never know what impact you have on people”
"Never give up. Never let anyone take away your shine or drive. If you fall, get right back up and brush yourself off. Believe in yourself and look into others to learn more about yourself. And remember, you are the master of your destiny so get out in the world, take chances if you need to and truly believe in it and don't ever let anyone shake your confidence. Everyone has the opportunity to make a difference and more and more women from all over are rising up and doing just that.
“‘the future is women’ we have the power in us to change the world. Our nature is nurturing life and together we can. Just believe in the power in you and connect to your source and watch the magic.”
"You can make a difference. Small acts or large acts make a difference even if it’s only one person, and that can have a ripple effect that can last generations."
"My goal is to help people live their best life. This can only happen if we talk about what that means with those who are important to us."
"We are stronger together. By lifting each other up and supporting one another, we can create a brighter, more compassionate world for all."
“Be brave and resilient and continue to inspire future generations of women to fearlessly pursue their dreams and overcome any obstacle in their path.”
"Be strong and believe in yourself. If you try hard and persevere you will reach your goal. Find your passion because if you have passion in what you do you will stick to it and be successful."
“Don’t be afraid to see a need and create a solution! Love yourself so you have the capacity to love others. Be intent about learning, however you do that best. Create an environment of trust in all that you do.”
"Together, we can achieve remarkable things. It's about lifting each other up and creating a world where everyone has the opportunity to thrive."
"Together, we can achieve remarkable things. It's about lifting each other up and creating a world where everyone has the opportunity to thrive."
It’s time to recognize the women in our community who have broken barriers, pushed the envelope, and created positive change that will be felt for years to come.
