Breaking through the glass ceiling

Shivani Dhamija took a leap of faith by starting her own business. Challenging the difficulties that immigrant women entrepreneurs face, she founded a prepared meal service in the province. Today, her products are sold in more than 150 grocery stores. She wants to be an example for other immigrant women, to break down barriers and to show them that anything is possible.
