“New beginnings are not easy but they are possible with support and belief”

This year, Marika stood on the Watch Her Soar stage and shared her story with courage and honesty, reflecting on the challenges she faced and the strength it took to keep moving forward.

When Marika connected with Dress for Success Kelowna, she found a supportive environment where she could focus on rebuilding her confidence and moving forward at her own pace. Through encouragement, professional support, and community connection, Marika began to regain belief in herself and her abilities.
