CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW?

Celina Caesar-Chavannes

How I Found My Voice and Learned to Live with Passion and Purpose

In Can You Hear Me Now?, Celina Caesar-Chavannes—former Member of Parliament and Chatelaine Magazine's 2019 Woman of the Year, part Brené Brown and part Michelle Obama—digs deep into her childhood and life as a young Black woman entrepreneur and politician to speak plain truths and show us that effective and humane leaders grow as much from their mistakes and vulnerabilities as from their strengths
• Both memoir and leadership book, this is a funny, self-aware, poignant, confessional, and fierce look at how failing badly offers more powerful lessons in how to conduct a life than extraordinary success
• Already a successful entrepreneur, who launched and grew an award-winning research management consulting firm, Celina Caesar-Chavannes was confronted with the fact that Ottawa wasn't designed for someone like her after being the first Black person elected to represent the federal riding of Whitby, Ontario, and she paid the price for speaking out about the micro-aggressions and for her community and riding, but she also felt exhilaration and empowerment
