Shilbee Kim (she/her)  is a Korean-born social enterprise and passion coach for Innoweave and the Women of Ontario Social Enterprise Network, as well as the Workstream Manager at Brookfield Institute for Innovation and Entrepreneurship. 

In our conversation, Shilbee Kim shares her perspective on how we can use passion as a powerful tool for justice and systems change, and urges us with a call to action to look within, and do our part, individually and collectively, to prevent anti-Asian hate, violence and racism.

Memorable Quotes from Shilbee:

"Sometimes we just need to get rid of the noise, to discover or reconnect with, what our truest desires are. It’s all in us. We have the tools already."

"
Passion has allowed me to look at things that I didn’t want to look at, that needed healing. To transform things. To try things. To use my voice to speak up against injustice. It has led me to creating business, writing stories, to finding the love of my life. It’s been a great teacher for me."

"Right now, my sense of belonging has been shaken up, and in that process, I’m finding power in my own self, and realizing that I belong to me, and only me, and that has been liberating in and of itself."
