Women and the media: voice, visibility, and vulnerability

Commanditaire
Through a panel of women from different backgrounds (business, law, culture, public sphere), we want to open a frank and timely discussion on the place of women in the media: speaking out, credibility, influence, but also increased exposure, attacks, pressure, and vulnerability issues. The goal: authentic, nuanced, and impact-oriented exchanges.

Speakers:

DOROTHY RHAUD

CEO and Founder of Audace au Féminin
Dorothy Rhau is a social entrepreneur, speaker, and impact leader committed to economic inclusion and women’s leadership in Quebec and Canada. As the founding president of Audace au Féminin, she designs and implements structural initiatives that promote the autonomy, representation, and civic participation of women of African descent, thereby contributing to a more equitable and representative society. As the first Black French-speaking female comedian in Quebec and Canada, she has transformed speech, humor, and creativity into levers for mobilization and social transformation. Her work lies at the intersection of the field and institutions, where she builds lasting bridges between communities, organizations, and decision-makers. Ranked #1 in Canada on LinkedIn in 2025, Dorothy uses her platform as a space for reflection and strategic influence. She is interested in power dynamics, economic inclusion, and the conditions necessary to transform visibility into structural impact. Through initiatives such as the International Black Women’s Salon, the Black Leaders Summit of Canada, and the Tétons Ben Drôles campaign, she is helping to change practices and strengthen the place of women of African descent in the economic, civic, and media spheres. Her unifying leadership is helping to shape a Quebec and a Canada that are more confident, more representative, and fully faithful to their plurality. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

ALEKSANDRA WOZNIAK

Professional tennis player
Aleksandra understood this before it became a trending topic: at the highest level, it’s not enough to be excellent; you also have to know how to stay the course when visibility amplifies everything, including vulnerability. Aleksandra belongs to a generation of athletes who have learned to win on the field while mastering what visibility demands: mental discipline, personal consistency, and a rare ability to stay focused when everything speeds up. Born in Montreal on September 7, 1987, and now based in Blainville, Aleksandra is one of those athletes who have shifted the boundaries of Canadian sport. A five-time Canadian champion, ranked 21st in the world on the WTA tour and 3rd in the world in ITF juniors, she has built a career based on rigor, consistency, and a calmness rarely attributed to those who lead the way.
