A note from Maryam

Hey Hustlers,

Can you believe summer 2025 is already cornering the exit ramp? One minute, we're sipping cold drinks poolside, the next, POOF! Time did a sprint. Feels like we blinked and August is waving at us... telling us, “Girl, what haven’t you done yet?”

This season delivered big vibes

• The now-iconic Coldplay “kiss‑cam scandal”—that CEO moment went viral faster than a trending reel. Talk about summer drama glazed in meme culture

• Ronaldo getting engaged, a love plot twist that had us all double-tapping and sending congrats faster than he hits a free kick.

• Blackpink’s “Deadline” World Tour with a pink convertible cameo in Seoul is all the girl-power energy that we needed.

All of it reminded me how fast this warm season can fly, but also how much magic can be packed into these long, sunlit days.

Let’s treat August not as the last of the summer lull, but as that final burst of energy, that last hurrah before we dive back into the daily grind.

💌 In this issue, we’re sharing how we supported Winsome by Tah’s stunning launch, our role at African Fashion Week Toronto, and a look at the upcoming Future-Ready Leader™ Connect & Reset Day. Plus, all the new details for our next Brunch, Paint & Connect event.

Big love,
Maryam 💜
