Marlee Liss
1st Place at Forgiveness 2021
I am a sensual reclamation coach, author and restorative justice advocate. I am also a queer, sparkle-loving feminist and trailblazer. I made history in the justice system when my sexual assault case became the 1st in North America to conclude with restorative justice through the courts. Since then, I have coached hundreds of women internationally in reclaiming sensuality and embodied leadership.
Marjorie Aunos
2nd Place at Forgiveness 2021
Kristin Light
3rd Place at Forgiveness 2021
A Toronto-based entrepreneur, vintage swing dancer, and purveyor of digital charisma, Kristin has recently migrated from the glitzy performance stage to the more genuine speaking one. She is passionate about the accessibility of mental healthcare, the availability of plant-based nutrition, and the feasibility of a greener, more inclusive world for all.

Kady Romagnuolo

I am a spiritual business coach who went from being anxiety-filled, way too serious, and a people-pleaser, to passionately inspired and wildly successful by showing the world who I really am! I teach you how to harness the power of the moon to achieve your goals.

I am passionate about serving courageous, heart centered leaders and entrepreneurs to set boundaries, push boundaries and thrive on their own brave path.

I'm a fighter and a survivor with a spirit that won't stop dancing in spite of the challenges I've had to overcome. I've been a body image advocate since 2007 and teach people how to live confidently in an image obsessed society.
