À propos de ce contenu audio
In this episode, we sit down with Rechie Valdez, Canada’s first Filipina Canadian woman elected to Parliament, former banker, small business owner, and the former Minister of Small Business. Rechie’s journey from baking out of her home kitchen to navigating the halls of power is anything but linear. She opens up about overcoming the risk-averse nature of Filipino culture, embracing entrepreneurial risks, and how her background as a daughter of immigrants informs her approach to leadership.
We explore the intersections of food, identity, and policy — from her mother’s fish head sinigang to the growing prominence of Filipino flavours in Canadian cuisine. Rechie shares insights on the current state of small business in Canada, how the federal government is supporting newcomers and entrepreneurs, and what it truly takes to shift the systems that shape our economy. This conversation is a unique blend of personal experience and political perspective, offering a deeper look at what it means to build a more inclusive and sustainable future for small business owners and the communities they serve.
*This episode is intended to highlight personal experiences and is not an endorsement of Rechie Valdez or the Liberal Party.*
