There is something powerful about being first. This edition marks the very first I AM WOMAN in Kamloops, a milestone that feels both long overdue and deeply intentional. The Thompson Valley is filled with women quietly and boldly shaping our community every single day. This publication exists to bring their stories into the light.

As you turn these pages, you will meet women redefining what leadership looks like. Women who are creating space for healing, breaking barriers in industry, building businesses with heart, and stepping into roles where no woman has stood before. From mill floors to medical offices, from trades to trauma-informed wellness, their paths are different, but their impact is shared.

A theme became clear as we brought this first Kamloops edition to life. Strength does not always look loud. Sometimes it looks like choosing
yourself. Sometimes it looks like staying. Sometimes it looks like starting over. And often, it looks like lifting other women as you rise.

This publication is not just about professional accomplishments. It is about identity, courage, resilience, and the quiet moments that shape a
life. It is about women who are not waiting for permission. Women who are rewriting narratives. Women who are building something better for their families, their teams, and their community.

To every woman featured in these pages, thank you for trusting us with your story.

And to the women reading this, may you see yourself here.

Welcome to the first I AM WOMAN Kamloops.
